One person is dead after a fire ripped through a building in East Vancouver.
It happened in the 3400 block of East 3 Avenue on Tuesday afternoon.
The city said it was sixth fire-related death of 2018.
“While the investigation is still underway, multiple fatalities to date have been directly linked to a lack of working smoke alarms,” the city said in a statement, adding it will provide information about how to prevent a fire at home.
