Drumheller RCMP and the Drumheller Fire Department were on scene at the former hospital Tuesday afternoon investigating reports of smoke coming from the building.
Emergency Services responded shortly after 4 p.m. to the structure in Riverside near Hillview Lodge. Initial reports say it appears there were two areas on the top floor of the building where small fires had started. However, because there is little fuel in the building, they burned out.
There has been recent damage to the building including graffiti and smashed windows. It appears access could be gained though a broken window on the top floor.
Police and firefighters swept the building for any other signs of fire and town crews arrived to secure the building.
The investigation continues.
