Neighbours hope for swift cleanup after Logan Avenue warehouse fire
CBC
Cindy Moore looked out the front window of her Alexander Avenue home early Sunday morning and saw flames growing on the west side of the Anco Lumber yard.
Within 15 minutes, the fire had engulfed the warehouse. Soon after that, firefighters knocked on her door, telling her and her husband to leave.
"It's scary, they pound on your door and tell you to get out," Moore said.
Moore has health problems and uses an oxygen tank to help her breathe.
"I was taken to hospital and admitted," she said.
"I was there for a couple of days before they let me come home after the fire. Yeah, due to the carcinogens and everything here."
One of Moore's six cats suffered burns to its paws, and another one is still missing.
Mohammed Samura's car was parked on Alexander Avenue when the fire broke out.
The heat melted one of the vehicle's brake lights, warped panelling on one side and also damaged an interior display screen.
Samura was sleeping inside his home on nearby Pacific Avenue when he smelled the smoke.
"Then when I look up at the window I saw huge flame of fires there," he said.
"I have to wake my son up and then wake his mom in the other room, then I went downstairs in the basement and wake my roommates and they all got out of the house."
Moore hopes the cleanup begins soon.
"I'm worried about the ecosystem," she said.
