The Qualicum Beach Fire Department was called to deal with a structure fire on Memorial Avenue on Aug. 30.
The call came at approximately 1 p.m. on Sunday, from the occupants of the mixed residential-commercial building.
“On arrival, the duty officer did find smoke on the third floor of the structure (the structure is three storeys at the rear and two on the Memorial side. The level access off of memorial is actually what we would call ‘Floor 2’). The duty officer called for some mutual-aid resources from Coombs, Dashwood and Parksville Fire Departments,” said Fire Chief Marc Norris. “When fire crews entered they found smoke and fire in a wall cavity on the third floor.”

Norris said the origin of the fire was located in the ceiling/floor cavity between the second and third floors. In terms of the origin, investigators are working to confirm the cause.
“This is an old building, with many renovations over the years. It has businesses on the main floor (hair salon and pizza place) and residences above, with storage in the basement. If this fire had gone undetected for much longer or had of occurred undetected during the night, the outcome may have been much worse,” said Norris. “I commend the occupants for calling 911 and reporting the problem immediately and the great work of our fire crews, with support from our neighbouring departments which led to the successful locating and extinguishment of the fire which was burning in concealed floor joist and wall spaces.”
The affected hair salon, Belle Femme Hair Salon, made a Facebook post saying the shop will remain closed for the time being.
“The damage was significant and will force us to shut our doors for the near future while we work on our quick solutions for reopening and relaunching,” read the post. “We remain positive and will be navigating this process as best we can. We appreciate the outpouring of support we have, and will continue to have in the face of this challenge.”

You can get the embed code directly from the post itself. If the post is public, click on the icon that appears in the top right corner of the post on Facebook.
Choose Embed Post from the drop down menu:
For photo posts select the Embed Post button on the bottom right:
2. Copy and Paste Code
You will see a dialog appear with the code to embed your post in it. Copy and paste this code into your web page in the place where you want it to appear.
For technical details please refer to the section Add Code Manually
Add Code Manually
Besides the Code Generator, you can also embed the code manually.
1. Get Post URL
First you need to get the URL of a post you wish to share. The post must be public, which is indicated by the gray world icon, right next the post's publishing time:
For testing you can use this example URL:
"https://www.facebook.com/20531316728/posts/10154009990506729/"
2. Load JavaScript SDK
To use the Embedded Posts Plugin, or any other Social Plugin, you need to add the Facebook JavaScript SDK to your website. You need to load the SDK only once on a page, ideally right after the opening tag:
You can find more help on implementing the JavaScript SDK in the JavaScript SDK - Quickstart.
3. Place Embedded Post Tag
Next place the Embedded Post tag at any place of your website. Replace {your-post-url} with your posts' URL.
4. Testing
Once you completed these steps you're able to test your Embedded Post. A completed integration will look like something like this:
