From Canada.com -
http://communities.canada.com/theprovince/blogs/newsroom/default.aspx The fire apparently started in an underground power vault, five feet beneath the surface on Richards Street between Dunsmuir and Pender Streets. The fire blew a manhole cover off. Officials initially said they would let the fire burn itself out, as it wasn't accessible. McKay said officials hope the fire hasn't spread, but it's not clear yet.
