Snippet:
DELTA, BC - After a massive fire left 80 residents of an apartment complex in Delta, B.C., homeless, the corporation's mayor says she would like to see a limit on building heights for wood-framed walk-ups.
Most of the three-storey Ridon building at the corner of Nordel Way and Scott Road was destroyed in a fire that began early Tuesday morning and raged for 12 hours. Eight people were rushed to hospital, but no one was seriously hurt.
There were no firewalls or sprinklers in the 50-year-old wood frame building, and firefighters were still soaking up hotspots Wednesday while they searched for the cause of the fire.
