      A large fire is burning on Mitchell Island, between the cities of Vancouver and Richmond with thick black smoke coming from a property, just to the east of the Knight Street Bridge
       
      Crews responded around 11:30 a.m. “We sent two engines, a rescue and a batallion chief,” says Captain Brian MacLeod.
       
      Police and fire crews are on the scene, but it is unclear what caused the fire and what exactly is burning.
       
      Explosions and popping can be heard coming from what appears to be a scrap yard.
