Horrible fire. Best go down to Hastings street and get some weed.

Good report, I should have been there earlier & stuck around later. I only saw the smoke from the Granville St bridge on the way to the office and made a detour to head down and have a look! Good coverage.

In my video I report that the fire started at 9 am

that's what was told to me , at the time

and that's what Global had reported at noon , during their noon broadcast , we all know now that the fire began at 830 am , sorry folks

Local area residents heard explosions and saw thick black smoke at 8 30 am

The gent I spoke to at the Starbucks in the Westin Hotel , said he had attemted to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher , but was told not to by the owner of the boat that first caught fire , that's what he told me

So I guess no one called the fire department till about 9 am

That's what's been reported in the province newspaper
