Police call Cassidy Inn Fire Suspicious
Nanaimo RCMP say the fire that burned the former Cassidy Inn to the ground is suspicious.
That announcement was made Wednesday morning, one day after the now abandoned building was reduced to its foundation.
Investigators are now trying to figure out what started the blaze.
The building has been the focus of negative attention from the Regional District of Nanaimo board recently. The board had ordered the building demolished in late May, citing safety concerns.
