Friday’s holiday meant no one was in the building when a fire broke out in the Prince Rupert Recreation Complex over the weekend.
But, luckily, Remembrance Day activities didn’t slow the response from the Fire Department, who were on scene within minutes of receiving the call.
They arrived at the complex just before noon, and were able to have the fire in the facility’s canteen extinguished moments later.
Due to the speedy response, damages were limited to the canteen and kept to a minimum, with no injuries reported.
While the exact cause of the fire is under investigation, the Department says they believe the fire to be accidental, and not suspicious.
