Over 100 people displaced by Surrey, B.C., condo fire
No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is under investigation, fire department says
More than 100 people are displaced following a major condo fire in Surrey's Guildford neighborhood Sunday evening.
Crews were called to the scene, a four-storey building located on 153rd Street and 101 Avenue, around 7:30 p.m., according to Jerry Siggs, assistant fire chief with the Surrey Fire Service.
Siggs said crews arrived to find heavy flames coming from the second floor, extending upward toward the third and fourth floors, and spreading to the roof.
All residents had evacuated by the time fire crews arrived, and no injuries were reported.
Siggs described damage to the building as significant.
"There's heavy fire damage from floors two to four and through the roof structure itself," he said.
Residents from 68 units have been displaced, Siggs said, and he estimated that more than 100 people in total are impacted.
He said 51 personnel responded to the fire and the last crews left the scene around 1 a.m. Monday.
The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
