Fire engulfs Surrey housing complex

  • Fire engulfs Surrey housing complex

At least 20 Surrey residents spent the night out of their homes -- and some could be out for much longer -- after flames tore through a housing complex in that city's Clayton neighbourhood.

Surrey Fire Service deputy chief Shelley Morris says four homes have been destroyed and as many as four more are damaged after flames from a garage fire spread quickly.

The fire broke out at around 6:30 last night.

No one were hurt and Morris says crews are still trying to determine a cause of the blaze.dmag
