Walk-in patients are welcome again in Burnaby Hospital's emergency room after fire forced a temporary closure.
However, a statement from Fraser Health says patients who must be admitted to the hospital will still be transported to neighbouring health facilities.
The fire in the hospital's Cascade building affected several areas of the hospital and while the ER wasn't damaged, it was closed to allow a focus on current patients and staff.
The authority had said the fire was believed to be electrical, but now says it's learning more and the source is considered inconclusive.
