Police and fire officials are investigating two suspicious blazes that broke out early Wednesday morning in Vancouver's Stanley Park.
Fire crews said a garbage can was set ablaze in the Malkin Bowl Road area at around midnight, but the more devastating blaze broke out 20 minutes later in Brockton Oval.
The 85-year-old Brockton Oval pavilion has been hit and damage is estimated at $200,000.
Crews had trouble fighting the fire in the old building, which was restored in 1987, because flames had worked their way into the roof.
“It was difficult. Gaining entry was difficult and the structure of the building made it difficult -- the layout and such,” said Battalion Chief Albert Drinovz.
Police said they believe the two blazes are connected. No one was hurt in either of the fires.
Two deliberately set fires have occurred in the park in recent months, including one at the Vancouver Police horse stables and a First Nations exhibit. Police do not believe they are connected to Wednesday's fires.
