The twin blazes capped off a busy weekend for Vancouver fire crews.

Vancouver fire officials say the call is a reminder that stained rags should be properly stored after use, and never piled together.

Vancouver commuters got a dramatic showcase Thursday of how the ongoing transit worker job action could impact public safety.

Dozens more were evacuated after a fire started outside a suite in the three-storey building, with flames spreading "very rapidly," a fire official said.

Shoppers at the Real Canadian Superstore in East Vancouver found themselves with a front row seat to a firefighting display on Saturday.

The fire broke out in the ceiling of a building housing an A&W and Blenz coffee shop.

Vancouver fire crews had a busy morning putting down a two-alarm fire in the city's south side.

The fire appears to have started in 2906 West 4th Ave., which houses the Topanga Cafe, a very popular Mexican restaurant, and a foot reflexology business.

The call came in just before 6 a.m. and when firefighters arrived on scene at Prior and Gore streets, one home was already gutted. 

2017 was the city's worst year for overdoses, seeing an average of one death per day.
