A family living on properties owned by the Department of Defence near CFB Esquimalt is set to spend the night in temporary accommodations after their residence at Work Point suffered what officials describe as “minor damage” following a fire Sunday afternoon.
“All occupants are safe and no injuries were suffered,” said Capt. Chelsea Dubeau, public affairs officer for the Maritime Forces Pacific. She did not know how many people the fire impacted.

She said the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
‘The cause is not known at this time, but fire inspectors will be on scene shortly to conduct a thorough investigation,” she said.
