i'm just starting to hear news about it on the radio... they are saying it's a building on or near the JO site, not the actual school itself

It's not insadong don't worry!! Austin and North road is that um... it should be that corner where Denny's and Mcdonald's are.. I think its the one between Mcdonald's and Sushi California. I don't know the name of the place but I can see a big cloud of smoke on North road. So many fires....
Edit Quote:
COQUITLAM (NEWS1130) - A huge plume of smoke is rising from a fire beside Lougheed Mall in Coquitlam. It's happening at a Korean restaurant on North Road and Austin, in what used to be an I-HOP.
This News1130 listener first noticed it around 8:00 this morning. "They have some of the roof open, flames are shooting out. It looks like they may be having a hard time trying to get through the roof, as it's old and slanted. A lot of black smoke is coming out and BC Hydro is now on scene."
North Road has been shut down heading north at Austin Ave. Lock it to News1130 for this developing story.
