      VANCOUVER — Two people have died in an apartment fire in North Vancouver.

       

      Fire officials say 16 others have been taken to hospital with various injuries, ranging from minor to severe.

       

      The blaze broke out at about 2:30 a.m., in the 170 unit Mountain Village Garden Apartment complex.

       
       

      Sixteen suites in two of several buildings in the complex are destroyed.

       

      Firefighters say 150 residents were evacuated but many have been allowed to return because their buildings were not involved.
