No injuries from late afternoon fire at Nanaimo warehouse compound
NANAIMO — A tall, dark plume of smoke was visible through a considerable section of the city’s north end from a fire.
Nanaimo Fire Rescue crews were called to the yard of GFL Environmental in the 4400 block of Boban Dr., just after 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 4.
Capt. Dan Multari told NanaimoNewsNOW on scene it was hard to tell where the fire started, which involved multiple structures.
“We arrived on scene to find a fully involved 15 x 30 foot shed…next to that was a heavily damaged and smoking ATCO trailer. There appeared to be no extension into the building, just some light smoke and we were able to knock that down fairly quickly.”
