Did Aqua Fanatics burn down?

[Gujustud]

Yeap, unfort its true.

I drove by there after hearing about it. Entire building is burnt. I heard the glass was melted to the ground. I guess their website was hosted thru the store, as it is no longer up as well. Here is a clip from the Richmond Review newspaper:

Suspicious fire destroys pet store

Richmond RCMP are now investigating a suspicious blaze at a pet store on No. 3 Road that gutted the building Monday morning.

Around 3 a.m., a passerby spotted smoke coming from Aquafanatics Aquarium at 160-3411 No. 3 Rd. and reported it to the fire department.

Richmond Fire-Rescue's John Mitchell said there was nobody inside at the time and there were no injuries.

Damage to the structure is estimated at $300,000 and about $200,000 worth of contents were also destroyed.

The owner of the fish store was fully insured.

Mitchell said arson is suspected and that Richmond RCMP is now investigating.

Mitchell said the building was secure when firefighters arrived and nothing is believed to have been stolen.

As firefighters approached the building, the front window of the fish store cracked and the fire roared out.

The building contained no fire alarm or fire sprinkling system.
