Tent catches fire after reported propane explosion near Science World, fire crews say

No injuries were reported after a tent caught fire near Science World Saturday morning.

Witnesses say there was a small propane explosion in or near the tent just before 9 a.m., according to Vancouver Fire Rescue.

Asst. Fire Chief Pierre Morin tells 1130 NewsRadio that the tent was leaning up against the side of a building on Station Street near Southern Street when it caught fire.

“[The fire] didn’t extend to any buildings, so it was just a bit of grass fire damage and a tent that burned up,” Morin said.

The fire has been extinguished and investigators are working to determine the cause.
