    St. Anthony RCMP and St. Anthony Fire Department are currently on the scene of a major structural fire at the Boys and Girls club in St. Anthony. RCMP advises that motorists will not be permitted through the area from Tucker’s Lane to Marine Drive at this time.  

    Firefighters are monitoring a large fuel tank nearby to ensure there is no risk to public safety. While there is no evacuation order at this time, RCMP suggests that people in nearby buildings, including the MAC building leave out of an abundance of caution. The town of St. Anthony has opened up the council building as a warming centre for anybody that needs to leave the area.

    Motorists are advised to avoid the area so that emergency personnel can deal with the situation.
