Fire Crews Called To The Paramount

A concerned citizen calling City Fire after witnessing what they thought was smoke coming out of the back of an old theatre in uptown Saint John.

They responded to the Paramount, which is now undergoing demolition, and Division Fire Chief Gerald Green tells Tide News they discovered there was no fire in the building, it was just dust from bricks falling.

Demolition started on the Paramount this past Wednesday. It's scheduled to be finished by November.
