[ORIGINAL POST]

A huge fire last night destroyed much of the 34-unit co-operative apartment building on Milroy Dr. in the city’s north end behind Portage Place, and the Peterborough Fire Department and Ontario Fire Marshal's Office are investigating the cause. All residents are safe, but reports are some pets are missing. The Peterborough City-County Disaster Trust Fund is helping displaced occupants. Dramatic photos came in to us last night on Twitter—see our @Ptbo_Canada feed—including the one above.

Here's video Harrison Perkins captured at the scene.
