Vancouver firefighters responded to a residential blaze in the city’s Eastside neighbourhood late this afternoon.
A witness told Vancity Buzz the fire at an abandoned two-storey house at the intersection of Graveley and Templeton streets began at 4 p.m.
Traffic in the area was impacted by fire hoses and smoke. The blaze was contained relatively quickly and did not spread to nearby properties.
