Zellers building on fire

Post by anniekate »

Stopped for gas at Superstore and noticed flames coming from roof of Zellers building. Any one know how bad it is/was. Didn't go any closer.

Just drove by there, no flames, no smoke, no fire department. You smoking something or just trying to liven the forum up.

Costco would be really disappointed if the Zellers building burnt down, you know with all the plans they have made to move in there.

There was one fire truck and one RCMP cruiser parked on Old Okanagan Hwy, nothing else visible. From the gas pumps it looked like it was Zellers. We were there about 6pm

It wasn't when I looked. Must be on the highlights that changes news stories. I see it there now.

"The power lines and pole were literally on fire and witnesses hoped electricity was being turned off."

Is it just me or is this an unnecessary use of the word literally?

All I know is that they couldnt because that means people would be out of power for 8 hours in the middle of winters night. There could have bad food at the end of it because it spoiled and or people on Dialysis. Lets run after Cristie Clark and demand a reason why and then ask why they couldnt plan this fire better.
