Firefighters battled a blaze Friday morning at a home near Trafalgar Street and Third Avenue in Vancouver. "I walked out with my housecoat on and the whole roof was aglow, it was ablaze," said neighbour Sophie Dikeakos. "This building is significantly damaged and the one beside it has got water damage because of the smoke," Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services battalion chief Dale Parno said. "The one down below it has got water in their basement and there's not much we can do to prevent that." Aside from the possible basement damage to some homes, he said there should be no further disruption to neighbours.
