It was a close call early this morning for some residents in East Vancouver.
A raging fire threatened to spread from a three-storey house to nearby homes. At one point crews had to return to the home because the fire began smoldering after they thought it had already been extinguished.
Originally, it took eight trucks to douse the fire and prevent it from spreading. When crews arrived, the house in the 1500-block of East 11 was already fully engulfed in flames.
Neighbours say the homeowner comes and goes frequently and the house is occupied by numerous tenants.
There is significant damage to the home but the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
