Yup that new building on 17th ave and center is ablaze. Pretty terrible.

For the life of me I cant picture that building in my head.
I went to St Marys and drive by there all the time.... it doesnt look like a new building in that photo. Anyone know what commercial tenants occupy that place?

Another picture from Twitter. It's a shame since that development was one of the few along 17th in that area.

Pretty sure it's still under construction. Here's the streetview from September: https://goo.gl/maps/a8CIW

X92.9 is reporting they're evacuating the Talisman? Out of caution, one assumes. Crikey, I hope no other buildings are lost - not that it's good that this one went up, but hopefully they can keep it from spreading.

Talisman? Does that mean everyone is going to come here for swimming? Ugh.

The Arriva (?) looked like it was in a cloud of smoke -- wonder if that gets evacuated as well...

Seems to be a lot less smoke now than there was 45 minutes ago.

There was some charred paper landing in Mission and Cliff Bungalow. Not a lot, but I saw a few pieces floating across 4th street and coming down.

If it were to spread to the Arriva - there would be some serious concerns.
