Guests who evacuated the building — some without their belongings — stood and watched as the massive fire tore through the lodge. By morning, it had been reduced to a pile of smouldering rubble.
Investigators from Victoria District RCMP are working with the Nova Scotia Office of the Fire Marshal to determine the circumstances that led to the fire.
They’re looking for photos and videos of the fire, especially in its early stages between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m.
“Small details that show up in photos or videos might provide valuable information to our investigators,” said Staff Sgt. Darren Waidson, detachment commander of Victoria District RCMP, in a news release.
