A fire broke out at Lefebvre’s Source for Adventure on January 3, 2012 and caused extensive damage to the building. Firefighters worked through the night before eventually put the flames out on January 4th. Extensive damage was also incurred at Vested Interest which was located adjacent to the building along McIntyre Street. Temperatures of -20 C caused icy conditions to develop around the building.

Originally established in 1913, Lefebvre’s had offered sporting goods at 122 Main Street West for thirty years before the fire broke out. Both Vested Interest and Lefebrvre’s relocated after the fire, though the building exterior was salvaged.
