The East Kootenay Emergency Management Program program has set up a reception centre following a large fire at the Radium Park Lodge.
The Radium Hot Springs Fire Department, with the help of the Columbia Valley Fire Department in Windermere, were called out to the blaze at 4:45 a.m. this morning.
Since then, the fire has been contained, but there was significant damage to the building.
Radium mayor Mike Gray said everyone escaped the building safely, but one person was taken to hospital as a precaution.
The fire department will be conducting an investigation into the cause of the fire with the help of the BC Office of the Fire Commissioner.
A reception centre has been set up at the Radium Hot Springs Centre to provide support to those displaced.
Anyone displaced that can not make it to the reception centres can register at ess.gov.bc.ca or call 250-489-9677 for assistance.
