A large fire engulfed the building shortly before 10 p.m.
A huge fire destroyed a building on East Hastings Street in Vancouver on Wednesday night, and firefighters did not report any casualties.
Brad Hesse, assistant chief of operations for the Vancouver Fire and Rescue Service, said the crews arrived on the scene at 1820 East Hastings Street just before 10pm to find a fully engulfed fire.
More than 45 firefighters rushed to the large fire, which was visible throughout the city and emitted a lot of smoke.
Hase says this is the third alarm fire and the building collapsed on its own.
“There were no reports of injuries,” Hesse said.
The nearby building did suffer some heat damage, but the fire was contained in the Value Village building.
“The [firefighters] “We will definitely be tired, we will be here for a while,” he said.
The cause of the fire is not clear at this time.
