Port Alberni fire investigators are working with RCMP on the case.
Port Alberni Fire Chief Mike Owens said that due to the size of the building, the fire triggered automatic aid agreements and firefighters from the Beaver Creek, Cherry Creek and Sproat Lake departments also responded.
Crews extinguished the blaze just before 9:15 p.m., and city contractors were on site overnight to provide security and to prevent any flare-ups from occurring, he said.
