The Red Cross said the man was uninjured in the fire.
Neighbours of the resident posted videos of the raging flames, which were near their own home and a bedroom. It also was visible that the fire caught the man’s car on fire.
Crews responded, but the weather hampered them.
Volunteers from the Red Cross are providing the man with emergency lodging, meals, and he is also being assisted by the Sipekne’katik Band Council with other needs.
