Posted: Jun. 1, 2023 2:38PMNanaimo Fire says there was a break-and-enter at a former senior’s facility that resulted in a fire Thursday afternoon.
Stu Kenning, assistant fire chief with Nanaimo Fire Rescue, says four engines responded to help extinguish the fire and search the building in the 1200 block of Nelson St. “There’s smoke damage to about half the building,” Kenning said. “It is a large building, so it took quite a long time to search.”Sign up for the CHEK Now daily email newsletter to get breaking news and the day's top stories sent to your email.
