He says fire crews got the call around 7:20 p.m. after someone reported hearing an explosion coming from the area.

“So, we’re on the Vancouver Pile Driving site and they have a roughly 10ft by 30ft ATCO trailer that serves as their lunch trailer,” Danks explained.

“It appears that was where the fire started. It did spread to some of that neighboring temporary structures and some of the shoring that’s close by but that was contained quite quickly and that’s due in fact to the quick response from North Vancouver City Fire Department and the District of North Vancouver fire and rescue services.”

The trailer that was the source of the fire was completely destroyed.

Danks adds, a cause of the fire has not been established but says a full investigation will take place Monday morning.

Around 16 firefighters were at the scene of the fire.
