As of 2:07, the firefighters are dousing the building once more as more smoke billows and all roads remain blocked.
I suppose I could have called CBC radio and let them know. I just assumed someone on the road (as opposed to me in my living room) would have done it.

I think they were aware but just didn't break into regular programing to announce this, at least when I was listening in the morning.
 
Well, the day after the massive brouhaha they had some diggers and other implements of destruction come in. The building is now a pile of burnt wood. My husband took a picture but it was out of a moving vehicle so it wasn't shareable. Alas, I am sure y'all can visualize a big pile of blackened timber so no photographic evidence is necessary.
In the last photo I shared (post-fire), the building looked fairly solid, at least from the outside, so I guess it must have had hidden structural issues and they chose to reduce it to rubble preemptively. Which, given the amount of time, water, smoke, etc. stands to reason.

Thanks. That's sad indeed. But on the other hand, it should be much easier to implement a wider sidewalk and maybe some park space.
 
I certainly hope so. We never walk along that sidewalk, choosing to either use the back alley to the west of it or walk down 104 St precisely because of how bad it was.

Here's what is remaining of the Iginla Law building

And it wasn't just the building - it was the junk filled driveway behind it, complete with an abandoned vehicle. THB, seeing how many fires our fine feathered friends, the "unhoused", start on a regular basis all over downtown, I'm kinda shocked it's managed to stay up for as long as it has.
