One man died in a fire at the shelter in April.

Vancouver Fire Department said there are no known injuries at this time. They have not determined the cause of the fire, but say one suite was involved.

The overpass onto the Granville Street Bridge was closed to allow fire crews access to the site, causing traffic delays in and out of downtown.
