Bathurst police seek info on warehouse fire

There is still no word on what caused a weekend fire in Bathurst that forced dozens of people from their homes.

Now, police are turning to the public for information as they try to determine how it started in the first place.

Flames broke out at the Eddy Group building supply warehouse on Saint Anne Street around 9 p.m. Saturday.

More than 100 firefighters from several departments converged on the scene and battled the flames into Sunday.

Photos on social media showed large flames and heavy smoke coming from the business, which sells plumbing, HVAC, and electrical supplies.

More than 100 homes had to be evacuated and an air quality advisory was issued for part of the city because of the smoke.

Officials said no injuries were reported as a result of the fire, which crews battled into Sunday.

Eddy Group, which has been in the community for more than 100 years, said it plans to rebuild.
