New Westminster fire, New West storeowners devastated after fire tears through downtown
About 40 businesses operated out of the two buildings, with a dozen completely destroyed in the fire and many others affected – along with their owners. New Westminster’s Fire Chief said propane tanks on the roof of the building, which were being used by a roofing crew, caused the explosions during the fire. The fire caused the closures of several main roads, including Front, Columbia and 6th Streets. Firefighters are still on scene and an investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing.
