Summary
A major fire tore through Port Alberni’s Service B.C. building, leaving it a total loss — roof collapsed, everything gone. But the province’s already sprung into action with a temporary hub in town to keep critical services like income assistance and government payments running. More services are coming soon. The building also housed the Ministry of Social Development and ICBC — a devastating blow for vulnerable residents who relied on easy access. Authorities are treating the blaze as arson, with a suspect already in custody. While the situation is tough, officials are racing to restore essential services with minimal disruption.
