A large riverfront fire in New Westminster occurred on the night of Sunday, September 14th. After the blaze, which burnt for days, the old section began being dismantled. So for more than five weeks, crews have been pulling up the old piers which made up the end of Westminster Pier Park. The whole park remains closed but no damage occurred to the newer, rebuilt section from east of Fourth to Sixth Streets.
We walked yesterday to survey the progress of the burnt section's removal
