Small shed containing tires ignited behind Nanaimo German Cultural Centre
NANAIMO — Despite a large plume of black smoke, damage from an early morning fire was contained largely to a small shed.
Fire Rescue Crews were called to a fully engulfed shed on fire behind the German Cultural Centre on Caledonia Ave., around 6:30 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 22.
Inside the shed were over a dozen tires, clothes and other items which were all destroyed.
“Crews arrived on scene to a fully involved shed, it was detached and behind the Cultural Centre in the back,” assistant fire chief Stuart Kenning told NanaimoNewsNOW. “Crews made access and knocked it down quite quickly, and there was a hydrant quite close by.”
