More structure fire video from Coquitlam tonight . You can see flames at the end of this video as they had sprayed the unit with water from the ground and now had brought the hose up the ladder to knock down the last of the fire. You can see smoke billowing out from the unit… pic.twitter.com/swReZwzn4m

More of the structure fire in Coquitlam tonight. I am not an expert on anything related to this, and am not tring to be. But if you are a firefighter and know about fighting these types of fires in a wooden apartment complex. I'd love to know how the protocol works. I saw it… pic.twitter.com/azsrZQUJ7y
