A STRIP OF RESTAURANTS AND AN OFFICE BUILDING were destroyed in an early-morning fire Thursday in Vancouver, British Columbia. The fire was first reported shortly after 4 am in the row of connected wood-frame commercial buildings that were about 80 years old.

The fire had gotten into a common void and spread throughout the complex quickly. The FD concentrated on containing the fire to the block as the roof collapsed on the businesses. The fire was brought under control by 8 am.
Fire officials say that it will be impossible to tell where it started until after an investigation into it is completed.
