RCMP are investigating a Wednesday fire at the Trail Legion.

Firefighters were called to the scene, at 2141 Columbia Ave., at approximately 9 p.m. Wednesday evening.

Eleven members of the Trail Station 374 and eight more members from Station 372 in Warfield responded.

“Firefighters were met with heavy fire on the outside of the building as well as multiple venting propane tanks,” said the Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue (KBRFR) press release.

“However, the fire doors on the building held the fire from getting inside the structure.”
