RCVAA Building Destroyed By Fire
By: Irene Doyle  
CAMPBELLTON: At 3:15 on Wednesday morning, the Campbellton Fire Department was called to a fire at 13 Aberdeen Street in Campbellton. The building which housed the Restigouche County Volunteer Action Association (RCVAA commonly known as the "soup kitchen") is a total loss. Twenty five firemen were on the scene of the fire, which is deemed suspicious, and three piece of equipment was used but the building could not be saved.
It is believed that the fire was, purposely, set in a bin where cardboard boxes were kept on the side of the building. The heat from the fire also caused extensive damages to the building next door.
Although there was apparently insurance on the building, a new one will have to be found and all of its contents replaced as soon as possible. The RCVAA is a very important one in the community.
