AzNightmare 05-04-2011 02:59 AM

Tim Budong 05-04-2011 03:05 AM

I believe so, Im on odlin..so behind the building. but there are cops on the street right now

orange7 05-04-2011 03:23 AM

one thing for sure...

the probability of an Asian causing the firing is the greatest.

Tim Budong 05-04-2011 03:27 AM

AM730 still reporting that they are fighting small fires..so its not over yet

Tim Budong 05-04-2011 03:35 AM

It’s karma. The building on fire right now is the first 6-storey wood-framed building of its kind to be built in BC and created lots of controversy about the construction of it. Fire Departments had warned about it not being fire safe. And now look what has happened. I dont know why construction was carried out if it didnt follow fire safety regulations

What happens to the people who have pre-bought units in that building? are they all SOL? because I doubt they bought home insurance yet?

They company building the units would have contractors insurance which will cover the damage done to the building.

i live on cambie and see that condo unit all the time.
it started like 3-4 years ago when the project sign went up. it said condos starting at 140k.
recession hits, the condo doesnt get developed. the lot sits there for like 2 years untouched.
mid-late last year, construction finally started.. wasnt the fastest but shit was finally getting done. the price on the sign increases to 190k
theres another planned condo unit right next door that had the project sign up around the same time. still no construction done to that one after 3 years.
something seems a bit fishy. the project obviously wasnt going too well

t8v6 05-04-2011 09:12 AM

wow. wonder how long it's been since RFD saw a real fire like this.
