Éliane's front facade, before the fire
Mystery fire destroys 3 businesses
More than 60 firefighters battle 'tremendous' blaze
"Fire has destroyed a sweet piece of Vancouver's heritage.
Lee's Fine Old Time Candies shop in the 4300-block West 10th Avenue was left a smouldering pile of charred rubble yesterday after fire tore through it and two neighbouring businesses in the same building.
It took at least 60 firefighters five hours to knock the flames down Tuesday night and early yesterday. Three firefighters suffered minor injuries, one a suspected broken ankle.
Residents in the building fled. Tenants in a nearby apartment block had to be evacuated because of water damage, while three homes across the lane were flooded by oily water running off the smoking wood-framed building.
Lee's, furniture store Form and Function and design shop Residence Interiors were completely destroyed.
All that remained of Form and Function yesterday was two wooden planters out front."
