FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The Fort St. John RBC branch is set to reopen Wednesday after a person died in a fire in its ATM vestibule area earlier this month.

The branch is reopening to the public from 11 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 17th. Regular branch hours of 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. will resume on Thursday.

The bank’s night deposit drop chute is available, and deposits can be accepted at the Petro-Canada ATM at 11724 Alaska Avenue.

The fire in the RBC branch’s ATM area started on Sunday, May 7th, closing the branch the following day.

Last week, Corporal Madonna Saunderson said the Fort St. John RCMP is investigating the sudden death, which she says is not being deemed suspicious at this time.

“The BC Coroners Service are engaged and conducting a parallel investigation into the cause of death,” said Saunderson in a statement on May 11th.

The extent of the damage to the building and what started the fire is still unknown. RBC told Energeticcity.ca last week that the branch will reopen once an investigation and repair work is completed.
