FIREFIGHTERS tackled an East Bay Street blaze yesterday.

The old wooden structure, formerly known as Natives Night club, erupted in flames sometime after 1pm.

Three trucks were called to extinguish the blaze which completely destroyed the structure.

Passersby and patrons of neighbouring businesses yesterday expressed mixed sentiments over the building's destruction.

The dilapidated nightclub was said to be a haven for homeless drug addicts, who used the shelter to get high.

One man was taken into custody for questioning as investigations into the matter continue.
