Three people injured in Vancouver blast
 

VANCOUVER — Three people are in hospital after a dramatic explosion and fire at a four-storey apartment building Wednesday.

Police are treating the blast at 2272 Dundas Street, near Garden Ave., as a crime scene and the centre of a criminal investigation.

The explosion occurred at about 5 p.m., setting a unit on the third storey on fire and evacuating residents from the building.

The three residents of the suite were sent to hospital with "undetermined injuries," according to VPD Const. Lindsey Houghton.

About 30 Vancouver firefighters had the two-alarm blaze under control by about 7:30 p.m.

The fire damaged the suite and caused "significant structural damage" to the rear of the building, according to Vancouver Fire Services Capt. Gabe Roder.

Meth Lab?

Shit van is getting more and more scary everyday... What has van become...

A friend's mom lives right above where it happened. He said cops were all over the place. He speculates that it was a meth lab as well.

yea totally. i mean this stuff happens all the time. :rolleyes:

So that's what the fire engines were rushing for

Hell no, I heard on the news yesterday that there was complaints from the landlords about them making "oil" or I guess you can say Budder which is made from buatane. And boom I have a feeling they dont have a clue yet.

crazy

how stupid do you have to fuck up that process? .....

Butane is extremely volatile, and its actually very easy to blow up ur house while cooking butane oil(thats y ur suposed to do it outside) Less tahn a year ago Someone I know died here in Chilliwack because of making butane oil.

I think the problem comes when ppl are used to making ISO oil, then they try to make butane. If u light a pot of iso on fire it will just go on fire, if u light a pot of butane it WILL explode. Butane will sit in the air a while and if u in a closed room it will acctually start to make little puddles on the ground/counters and thats wen it get extremely dangerous.

personally i dont mess around with making oil anymore, its just not worth it.

^ exactly the place was hot inside no air and blew the fuck up.
