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.
West Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services Asst. Chief Jeff Bush told Global News no one was hurt, and the fire did not affect the BC SPCA West Vancouver Branch next door.
The SPCA said there was “very minor damage” to their building, but confirmed all the animals inside were unharmed.
The shelter is closed for the day due to road closures as fire officials investigate the scene.
