Mizner says the building has a business on the first and second floor, and one apartment on the third floor.
The building, located between Carleton and Regent streets, is home to the New Brunswick Right to Life group.
Mizner says they believe the fire started on the third floor and worked its way into the attic, though the cause is still under investigation.
