    Crane Collapses As Fire Crews Battle Multiple Blazes - Vancouver

    Crane Collapses As Fire Crews Battle Multiple Blazes - Vancouver

    Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services spray an ongoing fire in Vancouver, BC, Canada on Tuesday, August 6, 2024. The fire resulted in an explosion and a crane collapsing over a roadway. An out-of-control fire destroyed an apartment building under construction in Vancouver’s Dunbar neighbourhood on Tuesday and then spread to several nearby homes, totally engulfing one of them. The blaze was so intense it caused a construction crane to crash down across West 41st Avenue, taking out trolley lines and power lines and leading to power outages south of the road. Thick plumes of smoke and large chunks of burning embers drifted west, east and north across the surrounding blocks. Photo by Ethan Cairns/CP/ABACAPRESS.COM
