Update from Paul Duchene (of course) on Twitter....
Got a quick interview with the Dep Fire Chief on the Gordon Block fire. Building is still burning. Call came in at 4:45am. Extensive damage to building but can't tell now if it'll be a write off. No fire extended into adjacent buildings. Not much else to report today. #yqr

The Hill companies on that land that is where they wanted to put the fourth tower , my friend was just down there. He said all three buildings are a right off.
Spun past the Novia while I was out since I heard there was a fire and took a few pics. Also heard the big booms near Wascana Park which was apparently related to a memorial service.

Now that they can't burn down Knox Metropolitan they decided to burn down empty buildings.

Same thing happened to the Travelers Building on Broad. Vagrants got in and lit fires. This is also the fate of many vacant houses in Regina. The fire department eventually demolished the Travelers Building in order to extinguish the fire. They felt it as too dangerous to go inside to fight the fire. The Simpsons Building on 11th and Hamilton smoldered for about a week in the 80's.
Yeah they attempted to save the Nova Cafe, my brother was on site battling it, they started on the offensive but after 5 hours it was still blazing and they restored to being on the defensive at that point. Said it was top 2 fire of his career so far, so hot, intense, fire just kept coming back.

New buildings are made of fire resistant materials with steel studs, fiberglass insulation and drywall. Old building have wood studs and cellulose insulation. Once it is inside walls and ceilings it is very stubborn.
You can still see it smoking Monday pm in the reflection of the BMO Building.
This is what's planned for the corner of Chuka and Kaufman beside the new park. Includes ground level retail, something Regina does very little of. https://www.urbaneast.ca/

I saw something being built in Douglas Park over the past month or so. I figured it was for pickleball, and sure enough I found a tender for it from back in May. Whew, $1.8 million. Looks to be quite a few courts.
