VANCOUVER — Fire crews have responded to separate fires at three buildings operated by the Freemason society in Metro Vancouver.

North Vancouver RCMP say in a statement a fire broke out just before 7 a.m. at the Lynn Valley Lodge Masonic hall. 

A second fire was reported just minutes later four kilometres to the west at the North Vancouver Masonic Centre. 

That blaze has severely damaged the low-rise structure and RCMP say they are trying to determine if the two fires are related or were deliberately set.
