Three workers were injured in a sawmill fire in South Vancouver early Friday.

Firefighters continue to battle the two-alarm blaze, which is believed to have started in the basement of the mill, on Yukon Street, south of Marine Drive.

Three staff suffered smoke inhalation and minor injuries.

Fire crews were concerned about acetylene tanks inside, and have been attacking the flames from outside the building.

Thick, black smoke is hanging over the neighbourhood.
