Flames and smoke could be seen rising from a construction site at West 41st Avenue and Collingwood Street Tuesday evening in Vancouver’s second major fire of the day.
Video of the scene showed a crane falling in the fire’s vicinity.
The large fire in the city’s Dunbar neighbourhood started just before 7 p.m., according to a spokesperson for the Provincial Health Services Authority, which manages the B.C. Emergency Health Services (BCEHS).
The spokesperson said no one had to be assessed for injuries and no one needed to be taken to hospital as of 8:30 p.m. PT.
The city’s first fire of the day occurred Tuesday afternoon at an abandoned apartment building at 414 East 10th Ave. in East Vancouver, one year after a massive fire there displaced 70 people.
