Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 17 May, 2015 03:00 PM
    LANGLEY, B.C. — Dozens of Lower Mainland residents are without a home after a large fire at a construction site jumped to a neighbouring condominium complex.
     
    Firefighters responded to reports early Sunday morning of a fire in Langley's Murrayville neighbourhood (at 221st Street and 49th Avenue).
     
    Flames skipped over from the construction site where the blaze began and ignited a nearby condo building, forcing more than 100 people onto the street.
