Below are transcrips of my Voice Reports, filed from the scene of the fire.  See the photo gallery to browse the footage, all the photos were taken with my cell phone. 

"This is Ryan Nadel reporting for NowPublic from Vancouver. I left my apartment this morning to catch the bus on my way to work. I noticed this huge plume of black smoke in the air. There are reports of a massive fire at 4th Ave. in Vancouver. I will be going by the area in a couple of minutes. I hope to take photographs There is huge fire with this huge plume of smoke in the air at 4th Ave in Vancouver, Ryan NowPublic for NowPublic."

"This is Ryan Nadel reporting for NowPublic. This is update number 3 regarding the major fire on 4th avenue at Vancouver. I walked down to the scene there are 5 fire truckss. Smoke is so thick you can probably only see 10, 15 feet in front of you. Fire fighters are just beginning to break through the front door. Smoke continues to billow out of the building. More fire trucks are arriving on the scene. Stand by for further reports and footage."  

"Ryan Nadel reporting for NowPublic from Vancouver. This is the update number 4 of the major fire taking place on 4th Ave. in Vancouver. There are probably about 25 firemen standing outside the restaurant where the fire is. Few are just walking out now with full fire gear. They're about to walk in with a hose or something, smoke is filtering out of the roof, brown smoke from the back of the building. Firemen are preparing to enter now, hoses are on and they're entering the building now. Stand by for further update. Ryan Nadel reporting for NowPublic."

"This is Ryan Nadel, reporting for Now Public from Vancouver. This is update number 5 regarding the major fire taking place on 4th Avenue, in Vancouver. Fire crews are working tirelessly to extinguish the fire there, but fire crew on the outside are ensuring that the fire doesn't spread buildings next store, and fire crews are working on the interior building to extinguish the fire. Things seem to be calming down, there's less smoke bellowing for the roof, from the back of the building, almost the entire roof is destroyed and and charred and hopefully the fire will be out soon. Report information is that there is a renovation taking place inside the restaurant, and that might have had something to do with the cause of the fire. Ryan Adel from Nell Public from Vancouver."
