Burnaby RCMP say they will recommend charges against a 61-year-old man who drove into a fire hydrant, flooding two homes at Royal Oak Avenue and Marine Drive. The Burnaby Fire department was on scene to limit the damage from the flood. "It was just like a river," Basra said about the water flowing from the hydrant into his basement. Basra said this is the second time a driver has caused damage in the area. Neighbours say the alleged drunk driver also hit three nearby cars as well as a stop sign.
