A large fire in North Vancouver’s Lower Lonsdale neighborhood continued coating the area in thick black smoke Saturday morning, after burning overnight.
Firefighters say the blaze broke out around 7 p.m. Friday night in an abandoned three-storey apartment building in the 200 block of East 2nd Street.
No injuries have been reported and the cause of the fire has yet to be determined, according to Fire Chief Greg Schalk.
He says firefighters have yet to fully search the building due to safety and are unsure if anyone was inside.
Firefighters are expected to remain at the scene for most of the day Saturday.
