CPR Fire Vancouver

I remember my father dashing off with his cameras when he heard that the CPR Pier D was on fire. He was able to somehow get through the crowds to different vantage points and record this event both in 16mm movie film and photos such as these. Some of the photos were taken while standing shoulder to shoulder with the fire-fighters.
