    Residents Plucked From Balconies As Fire Races Through Large Surrey Apartment

    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 30 Sep, 2015 11:35 AM
      SURREY, B.C. — No one has been hurt, but numerous suites in a large apartment complex in Surrey, B.C., have been destroyed in an early morning blaze.

      Flames broke out around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday.

      The most extensive damage appears to be on the top floor of a newer three or four storey building not far from the Gateway SkyTrain station (on King George Boulevard at 108 Street.)
       
      Firefighters had to rescue a number of residents from balconies as the fast-moving fire engulfed several suites and broke through the roof.
       
      Many other apartments have suffered serious smoke and water damage.
       
      The cause of the fire is under investigation.
