Police are investigating a massive fire that destroyed an elementary school in Port Coquitlam, B.C.
Hazel Trembath Elementary School was attended by roughly 250 students - all of them now wondering where they will continue their studies.
Coquitlam RCMP have deemed the fire “suspicious.”
Alissa Thibault has more on the investigation into the fire and the next steps for students, their families and teachers.

Actually looks like a blessing in disguise, having a school without a functioning sprinkler system and constructed in a way that the fire continues to spread even after the arrival of firefighters was a potential for tragedy. Fortunately, there were no injuries and the school can be rebuilt to a modern standard; undoubtedly, it will be a real upheaval for the staff and students for at least the remainder of this school year, but certainly something that can be managed.

@@robertshiell887 That's actually incorrect. Most "new" public schools built after 1950 but before 2010 are concrete or cinderblock because they are built to withstand a bomb. Government buildings (schools, colleges, post offices, police stations) were bomb targets of the sons of freedom in the 1920's to 1960's, and because of "oh no nuclear bogeyman" scares. Only since 2009 have schools started being built with wood again, and those must be sprinklered. The school in question was built in the 70's, and sprinklers were not required until 1992. For those who maybe have never went to a school in BC. There are annual fire drills, usually in the fall, and had the fire started during class time, all the students would have been evacuated before the fire spread. This was always considered "good enough" for elementary and primary schools. Many small community school buildings were shut down in the 80's and students started being bussed, sometimes an hour away to larger schools. The reason this fire ultimately gutted the school is because it apparently started while nobody was in the building, and likely had an hour before someone saw it burning. Why it didn't have at least automatic fire alarms to alert the fire department or at least the principal or school district staff is a bit of a worry.

@@Kisai_Yuki Not sure where you live, but here in the Interior of BC all the schools that I attended were wood construction and built in the (circa.) late fifties. The latest two schools built in this area were frame construction (1980 and 2001). I’m sure surviving a nuclear strike may have been a consideration in some school districts, but here (and the adjoining districts) wood frame construction was the norm.

From my understanding sprinklers weren’t required in new schools in BC until the late 90’s and onward, and older schools that didn’t have them installed weren’t required to put them in. Even though it’s expensive, I personally think they should’ve made the older schools install sprinklers as well to avoid tragedies like this.

My children’s school had a fire too just over a decade ago and I would encourage the greater community, if you feel inclined to help, a tangible way to do that is to support lower income families or those with multiple kids in the school. Fire only gutted a portion of our school but smoke, water and heat got into every single classroom and hallway. One of my kids classrooms was on the far side of the school and they still lost the classroom pet from the intense heat. Major damage was done! Our fire was also in October and so winter coats, indoor shoes, the clothing they keep forgetting to bring home, and every school supply you purchased for them 6 weeks earlier is now either destroyed or smoke filled. A salvage crew goes in, catalogues everything, and boxes it up, then it takes to be professionally cleaned. That took 4.5 months for us. In the meantime your kids still need a new coat, clothing, school supplies, etc. That’s a huge financial burden for low income families to undertake so soon after just doing it in September. If you want to help these families, even a $25 Walmart gift card or a jacket your child grew out of will help. I had home owners insurance that I could use, but we had to first wait until we got our box back with items that they had been able to save and a list of the stuff they couldn’t before I could make a claim. It was 5 months before I could see reimbursement, and so I still had to find the money somewhere to buy new coats, indoor shoes, school supplies, etc which made the holidays extra tight for us. It was rough. Please consider helping these families if you can. Wishing all involved the very best.

It may have been arson, but on the other hand, faulty electricity or other fire hazards may have started the fire. Lets not be hasty to point fingers.

Thoughts and prayers to everyone effected. Just thankful nobody was physically hurt. PTSD for some of the kids, artwork, projects everything up in smoke

There’s an arena they can all go to continue their studies it’s not the end of the planet my goodness it’s only a building it can be rebuilt.

Unsprinklerd building. Can’t believe it had not been updated. Sad loss for this community.

Everyone is safe. There is no need to get upset. As one door closes, another one will open. Good and bad things will happen to us. We must all move forward. 🙏 ❤️

"started on the outside" obviously arson. Hopefully they catch the piece of trash that did this!

Suspicious and deliberate? Why??

Oh look! A suspicious fire that started in the middle of the night and all the surrounding trees didn't catch on fire. Been a lot of these the past few years. Did we already forget Lahaina? The fire was on the outside of the building when the fire fighters arrived. So it got inside and engulfed the whole school AFTER the fire fighters arrived. Another highly suspicious situation...

Even if the school was built before sprinklers were mandatory, it should have been retrofitted to prevent this type of devastation.

That is very sad to see a school gone like that. This just may have to go back to internet schooling like student had to do through covid. I pray for everybody in need. Ontario.

Millions for junkies but not for school fire sprinklers? BC is bizarre and Canada is over…

Just glad nobody when is the school when the fire broke out. That little girl from Honduras’s face says it all. Very hard to understand why someone would do this.

The fire man said, there were no sprinklers in the building. Why don't schools have sprinkler systems?

My elementary school in northern Manitoba burned down when I was in grade 1. It was a case of arson, but thankfully no one was hurt. My heart goes out to the students & staff of Hazel Trembath Elementary ☹️
