Fire severely damages Nanoose First Nation Community Hall
NANAIMO — A fire has badly damaged the Nanoose First Nation Community Hall.
Lantzville Volunteer Fire Department crews responded to the early Saturday morning blaze at the lower part of the Snaw-Naw-As reserve to find roughly half of the hall on fire, according to acting chief John Marment.
He told NanaimoNewsNOW the fire is suspicious.
“From what I got from witnesses, there was somebody playing behind the building where most of the damage is. They were playing with fireworks. Some individuals were seen running away.”
