"This is Rachel Nixon. I'm calling on behalf of the NowPublic team about the Vancouver fires. It's Monday, the 14th of July. As previously reported on NowPublic there are severe power outages in Downtown Vancouver because of electrical fires. The BC Hydro website is talking about more than 1,000 clients affected around the Waterfront area of Vancouver, in Gastown and also the Seymour Street area. I went down the street and saw smoke billowing from one hole on Richards Street where police had cordoned it off and were re-directing traffic. BC Hydro says it could be a few hours before the power comes back on. This is Rachel Nixon reporting for NowPublic."

Rachel Nixon, I like this story. It's good stuff. Good job Rachel thats where we shine by doing local stories. I didn't know about this important story until I read NP. I did a story on a BBQ grill that my photo journalist got photos during the fire and got extensive photos the following day. Then she got the South Carolina Tornado some weeks later. NP writers do the best when they are on the scene. Great job
