Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 24 Jul, 2024 10:44 AM
  • 2 dead in Surrey fires

Police in Surrey say two fires in the city in the last few days have left two people dead in Whalley and Newton. 

Surrey R-C-M-P say a fire at a home on 112A Avenue on July 20th claimed the life of an 85-year-old woman, but the blaze is not being treated as suspicious. 

Mounties say a fire early Tuesday at a home in Newton on 56B Avenue took the life of a 77-year-old man, and a 73-year-old woman was taken to hospital. 

Police say the city's fire inspector found that fire was also not suspicious, and the B-C Coroner's Service is now investigating both deaths.
