Snack Burns Down
There's the official news version:
The Iqaluit fire department continues to investigate the cause of the fire that gutted the city's popular Snack restaurant this week, Chief Greg Jewers says.
The Snack was also the city's only 24-hour food and cigarette delivery service.
Jewers said the fire, which began late Wednesday night, presented a real challenge to firefighters, who spent at least 14 hours battling the blaze.
At one point they had the fire under control, but then it spread to the ceiling of the restaurant and got away, he said.
"The smoke just billowed up until it got to the point the heat was so extreme that it just bust into flames," Jewers said in an interview Thursday.
Then there's unofficial information. I e-mailed my sister regarding the torching of the Snack, and this is what she sent back.
Sounds aufully familiar. It used to be beside the club. One day it went up in blue smoke...shortly after police had finally gotten a warrent, but hadn't had the time to go in and search.
Now that's the kind of information that makes a story interesting.
