Firefighting effects
VANCOUVER -- Almost as soon as they rolled out the fire hoses at Main Street's Old Town Antique Market late Tuesday, the firefighters pulled out protective tarps. That quick thinking may have prevented serious damage to the downtown vintage furniture, glassware and knickknack store at 808 Main St., proprietor Nicole Leslie said. Kol Shaver, the owner of Zephyr Used and Rare Books, wasn't so fortunate. Water that extinguished the blaze on the building's third floor dripped onto a mezzanine level and into Shaver's office, where he kept his most valuable rare books. A book signed by photographer Ansel Adams, books from the 18th and 19th centuries, various art and photography books, and a collection of the Nancy Drew series -- all were soaked.
