TMTV - Airing on Global TV July 30, 2010 - (TMTV's RAW FOOTAGE OF THE FIRE) (Produced by TMTV, All rights reserved - copyright 2010 TMTV) MORE NEWS @ http://www.bctvkootenays.com The call came in around 6:20PM July 29 and heavy smoke covered the down town area. As it got dark you could then see the flames through the heavy smoke. Flames were coming out of the building 6 hours after it started. By 2am the Nelson Fire Department had a good handle on the situation and was able to get hydro back to most of the 400 block of Baker and Vernon street. The Hume hotel which is directly behind the fire is still evacuated due to the close proximity of the fire. The Building housed 3 businesses one of which is the Red Fish Grill restaurant were the fire may have started.
Damn, it's such a shame what happened. I didn't know about the fire until that next morning. You can still smell the smoke. As for the building...it's gonna have to be completely demolished. I wonder what they'll build there next...
