In the above DTES Enquirer photo, a Vancouver fireman helps a woman stand upright yesterday as she speaks to an ambulance attendant. She had just been brought down the smoky fire escape of the Washington Hotel, housing for the addicted or troubled, as firemen doused a serious fire. Firemen must have found her in the building because she was brought down at least half an hour after the fire started; that was after the flames visible in one of the hotel windows had been doused by firemen. The woman got into the ambulance.
This morning she was on the front page of the Province.
The Province ran a dramatic photo, obviously taken with a zoom lens, of her looking scared as a fireman helped her down the fire escape. (You can see her crouched on the right side of the photo.)
She was also the focus of the lead photograph on both the Sun and the Province websites.
Hi mom.
