A man accused of setting a fire at the West Fraser Centre in Quesnel is due back in court today (Jan 5) for a bail hearing.
44-year old Jamie Harkley is charged with arson in relation to an inhabited property.
The court ordered a psychiatric exam last week.
The Quesnel Fire Department was called to the arena back on Saturday, September 20th for a fire in the lower floor men’s washroom.
Fire Chief Ron Richert said it was partially extinguished by the sprinkler system, and that a good samaritan was able to put the rest of the fire out with some fire extinguishers.
The fire caused water damage to the washroom and the hockey office, which is located on the other side of the wall.
No one was hurt as the parents and the children at the rink were quickly evacuated.
