Investigators say an electrical problem was the cause of a fire at a downtown Rossland business last month.
The fire happened on March 22 at 1938 Columbia Avenue, which was home to Rossland Fine Wines and Spirits and Mountain Nugget Chocolate.
At the time of the fire, Kootenay Boundary Fire Rescue said the fire was not considered suspicious. In an email today, deputy chief Glen Gallamore said the cause has since been determined to be electrical.
Damage was limited to the interior of the building, which was constructed in 1986.
In a Facebook post, Mountain Nugget said it has suspended operations “for the immediate future.” We’ve asked Rossland Fine Wines if they know what might happen to their business.
