I guess public comment will be some time in the New Year?

Fire stamped out at Victoria's Turner building; no one hurt

Given the number of previous fires in the location, it is not expected the cause of Wednesday’s will be found, a fire department official said.

There’s a “strong likelihood” that human activity was a contributing factor in a fire Wednesday in the Turner building, says Victoria’s fire chief.

While there’s no obvious indication of what may have caused the stubborn fire in the long-vacant structure on Richmond Avenue, there is evidence that people have been “in and out of that building over a number of years,” said Dan Atkinson.

“Given the weather has been rainy of late and the building has been vacant for a period of time and there is no power to the property, I think it’s safe to say there’s probably a strong likelihood of human activity that may have been a contributing factor to this fire,” said Atkinson.

Victoria firefighters were returning from an emergency medical call at about 4 a.m. when they spotted smoke coming from the roof of the building, which is on a triangular lot at Richmond Avenue and Fort Street, across from Royal Jubilee Hospital.

Why is the building still standing?
