Coquitlam paint store on fire
About 30 people called authorities around 6:20 p.m. after seeing smoke billowing out of Dulux Paints at 2764 Barnett Highway. The flames appear to be isolated to the roof and possibly an HVAC unit there, said Fire Chief Tony Delmonico.
“There’s no question if we get into the different paints or varnishes or oils they have stored at various locations like that you could get a high volume of fire in there,” Delmonico said.
No one appears to be in the store, but firefighters are inside the building doing a search Delmonico said.
