The Quesnel Fire Department responded to a structure fire on Monday (Aug 17) morning at the now vacant Maple Park Mall.
Fire Chief Ron Richert says the call came in at around 7-15 a.m.
“Upon arrival on the north end we had heavy smoke and flames coming from the structure. Crews were quickly able to extinguish the flames and keep the fire to a minimum.”
Richert says the fire was in the old Bay portion of the mall and was contained there.
He says they were on scene for around 45 minutes.
As for the cause and a damage estimate, Richert says they will be heading back there today (Aug 17) to conduct an investigation.
