“This fire caused extensive smoke and water damage to the building, and it has been extremely upsetting to the community. Thankfully, no one was injured.”
Investigators with the Vancouver Police Department and Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services say the fire was deliberately set, and were able to isolate images of a woman allegedly setting the fire from nearby security cameras.
Anyone who recognizes the suspect is asked to contact Vancouver police at 604-717-2541.
