West Vancouver fire officials are investigating what appears to be a suspicious fire at the old, abandoned Ambleside Youth Centre building in West Vancouver Saturday night.
Fire crews were called to the massive blaze off Marine Drive at around 10:45 p.m.
The fire quickly spread throughout the building before fully engulfing the building, with flames soaring into the night sky.
