Busy Night for Nanaimo Fire Rescue Responding to Four Structure Fires

Prevention Investigating to Determine Cause

NEWS RELEASE - Distributed June 6, 2014 12:00 AM

Summary

NFR crews and FireComm had a busy night as they responded to 2 back to back residential fires in the early evening, later a fire at Harmac and then an early morning fire in a home. At 6:05 crews attended a fire on Milford Crescent which they quickly extinguished and while on scene were then dispatched to Pine Street for a heavily involved fire in the attic level. The Pine street fire proved to be stubborn.

All residents at Pine Street were safe and accounted for and none of the fires resulted in any injuries. Then at 9:28 crews responded to a fire at Harmac, which again proved to be difficult due to the location and the height at where the fire was located. Working for several hours NFR crews used the Aerial truck and worked with staff from Harmac to extinguish the fire. Then at 6:10 Friday morning another call came in for a 4th structure fire which originated in a rubbish pile and extended to exterior of home. Fire Prevention will be investigating the 4 fires throughout the day.

Link to Strategic Plan: The City of Nanaimo is committed to Public Safety.
