Posted: Mar. 15, 2024 6:09PMThe daily scenes of fire trucks rushing to overdoses, open drug use and RCMP intervening in crises’ in Nanaimo’s downtown are becoming increasingly scary triggers for those trying to keep businesses open in Nanaimo’s core.
The fire that set a power pole ablaze just before 10 p.m. Thursday is the latest in a string of suspicious fires in the downtown. The fire knocked out power to the non-profit throughout Friday and impacted hundreds of special needs clients who receive job skills and programming through NACL. “The fire department was putting out the fire and the water ran down the inside of the building through the electrical room and it looks like it fried the panel,” said Morry.
