BREAKING: Fire crews are battling a fire at the courthouse in Golden, B.C.
Fire swept through the courthouse in the town of Golden in southeastern British Columbia, injuring one firefighter battling the flames.
Golden Fire Department deputy chief Rob Perry offered few details but confirmed the injury and said the firefighter was treated in hospital. RCMP Cpl. James Grandy said the alarms were reported in the Golden Law Courts and Service B.C. building at around 3:30 a.m. on Monday.Flames were still shooting from the single-storey building more than five hours after volunteer firefighters first arrived.
Fire Chief Mike Pecora said the building, which houses the town's provincial court, was likely a total loss."The roof has collapsed, so the fire is underneath that,'' he said. Alternate School, which is across the street from the courthouse, is in session and Perry said an evacuation was not expected.
Perry, who is an arson investigation technician, said he will be working with RCMP investigators to determine what caused the fire.Perry said court staff are "trying to sort out'' next steps.
