The fire department found the fire was accidental and caused by 'careless discarded' smokers' material.
B.C.’s Civil Resolution Tribunal has ordered the condo owners in an upscale Vancouver building to pay $75,873 for a fire caused by discarded smoking material.
“Based on the interview and scene evidence, the fire department found the fire was accidental and caused by “careless discarded" smokers' material, tribunal member Nav Shukla said in her June 28 decision. The strata sought judgment against the owner for $72,646.27: $65,289 for the window repairs, $4,084.50 for balcony repairs, and $3,272.77 for the cost of a forensic engineering report the strata obtained to determine the damage’s cause.
The strata hired a forensic fire investigator whose report concluded, “the fire’s origin was likely within a garbage bag left by the tenants on the balcony, possibly due to improperly disposed electronic cigarettes.”
