Fire breaks out in Vancouver West End

Vancouver firefighters responded to a blaze in the city’s West End neighbourhood late Monday evening.

The fire began at approximately 10 p.m. in the alleyway of the 1400 block of Nelson Street. Crews stationed nearby were able to quickly arrive at the location where they found a shed and trees on fire.

Given the response time, the blaze was contained and knocked out relatively quickly.

An active film production also happened to be near the site of the fire.
