Pulling hoses out to run north along 22 Ave NW copyright, Marc Weinberg |
The tree and brush covered terrain did not allow easy access to fight the fire. A pumper truck shot water from above, until a crew could lay hoses from a hydrant at that corner to more directly get to the source of the blaze.

The hoses were run through a private property to gain the best advantage. Shortly after, another hose line was run from one block further north on 22 Ave NW to provide more water.

At the time of this report the cause of the fire was unknown.
