Chase RBC branch damaged by fire
CHASE, B.C. — The Royal Bank in Chase is boarded up and will be for quite some time after a fire destroyed the facade early Sunday morning.
“We got the call at 4:10 a.m. for a structure fire. We arrived on scene, flames were already coming out the front windows by the ATM machine,” said Chase fire chief Brian Lauzon. “We attacked it aggressively, got the flames down, had to break the upstairs windows.”
Twelve firefighters helped to ensure the flames didn’t spread throughout the building, which only experienced smoke and water damage inside.
