Vancouver Fire Rescue is reminding drivers of the dangers of active emergency scenes, after a driver ruptured a hose at a fire in East Vancouver. The driver ignored the yellow tape at a three-alarm fire in the 1400-block of Pender Street Thursday afternoon. A vehicle just drove through fire line tape and over 5” supply hose. The hose burst immediately interrupting water supply to fire fighters at the structure. Even with live wires on the ground, Gormick said firefighters have to stop people from walking through active scenes regularly.
