Huge fire in Courtenay leads to a building being knocked down

No injuries in a massive structure fire on Cousens Avenue in Courtenay, which crews had knocked down at around six last night.

Courtenay Fire Chief Don Bardonnex says the Excel Automotive building went up in flames late Tuesday afternoon.

Bardonnex says the building…was destroyed…

The owner of Excel Automotive told Goat News on scene last night, that they were changing out a fuel pump and a bit of gas hit the floor, and then the trouble light dropped…and ignited it!
