In the early hours of Monday morning, a team of 30 dedicated firefighters from the Vancouver Fire Rescue Service sprang into action to combat a fire that broke out at a popular downtown convenience store.
Responding to the emergency call, the crews rushed to the 7-Eleven store situated on Granville Street near Davie Street just before 4 a.m.
According to Carolyn Rohaly, senior communications officer for the City of Vancouver, the fire originated at the back of the building and spread into the structure. Despite the challenges, the firefighters swiftly contained the flames. However, extinguishing the fire completely proved to be a more prolonged task as it had penetrated deep into the building.
Rohaly reassured the public that there have been no reported injuries resulting from the incident. The investigation into the cause of the fire is currently ongoing.
