Police say they're not treating as suspicious a fire that badly damaged a 100-year-old building on the historic waterfront in Lunenburg, N.S.
The blaze started around 7 p.m. on Friday and crews from 15 stations battled it for 11 hours. The fire was extinguished by 6:30 a.m. The building's roof is gone and the inside is badly damaged, but its four walls and two floors remain standing.
Lunenburg Fire Chief Darren Romkey said he thought the building could be salvaged. It was vacant, he added, and no people were inside.
Romkey said the fire might have started in a large garbage bin outside the building.
As the blaze roared Friday night, locals feared it would spread along the many wooden buildings on the waterfront. The crews were able to contain the fire to one building.
The fire marshal will be on the scene Saturday to investigate the cause.
Lunenburg was established in 1753 and the downtown is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
