NEW GLASGOW, N.S. — Over 30 people marked the first day of spring with the bad news that they could no longer stay in the building they called home.About an hour later, the New Glasgow Fire Department and the Nova Scotia Fire Marshal’s Office notified the public that the building once known as American House and property on James Street had not passed fire inspection and were being condemned.
When asked about communication with tenants, New Glasgow Fire Chief Ross White said that he had told Tomlik a week before the inspection that he was returning to the property for a followup inspection. He added that he has no authority over the issuing of vacate and close orders and that the decision came down from the fire marshal’s office after photos and a report were sent about the property. He added that when an order to vacate and close is issued, and there is considered a risk to life, the property must immediately be vacated.
“We have tents and baked goods,” she said. “People are starting to see it more. I’ve spoken to other rural shelters in the province, and they’re also struggling to get enough space for clients.”
