Great Fire of Vancouver - Survivors speak - Black Sunday in Gastown - June 13th 1886

On June 13th 1966 CBC Radio interviewed five survivors of the fire 80 years earlier. The audio is very clear, it does not sound like a broadcast for the mid 60s. Honestly, I am blown away that this audio exists. The fire started in the slash piles being burned by the CPR to clear the West End. The wind was strong and the whole town was burned down in 45 minutes. Vancouver was not much at the time, but it was clear it was going to be a major port because it was the end of the line for CP.
