Fire under Burnaby SkyTrain station snarls morning commute

A fire underneath Gilmore SkyTrain Station in Burnaby disrupted Millennium Line service Wednesday and left commuters scrambling. Flames and smoke rose near a pillar below the elevated tracks, and TransLink suspended service at the station while operating trains between VCC-Clark and Renfrew and between Lafarge Lake and Brentwood. A bus bridge ran between Renfrew and Holdom stations. Metro Vancouver Transit Police reported no injuries, and the cause and damage were unclear later in the day. Expo and Canada Line service continued normally while crews dealt with heavy smoke and investigated what appeared to be a fire set on a bench.
