Police and New Brunswick’s fire marshal are investigating the cause of a fire that destroyed a food bank building in Petitcodia, N.B., on Sunday night.
Murray Bunnett, president of the Support People of Today food bank lost about 12 to 15,000 dollars worth of food, the building also had a clothing depot.
The fire started at 7.30 pm and could been seen by people from kilometers away, it was a very big fire.When they called the fire crew they asked them to come because there was a big fire. They responded to the call very quickly and tried to be their as soon as they could. Fire spreads really fast and unfortunately, by the time the fire crew got to the food bank it was too late to save the building. The whole building was on fire, it was a total lost.
The food bank just moved to that location a week ago and a fire already occurred. This has been a business that has been going on for 25 years. The food bank is a very important business because it helps so many people that can't afford it and it provides food for people to live for the month until they can afford food. They hope to see the food bank up and running again in a new capacity by Wednesday.
I think that it is very sad that the food bank caught on fire because it helps so many people in the world and is a growing business. To see it catch on fire and know that the building can't be saved means that poor innocent people don't get food for how ever long it takes for the bank to get back up and running. The food bank helps so many people, it is one of those companies that need to be around in today's' time. If I was in that situation I would try my hardest to get it back up and running as soon as possible because every day that there is no food bank is a day where people starve. People who are in need of food and shelter and the necessities of life are dependent on places like the food bank for survival until they are able to get back on their feet and are able to work to afford these necessities on their own. Thankfully there are many people who donate to food banks in their local area to support the less fortunate people.
