6 people displaced, 1 cat rescued after Surrey, B.C. house fire
Fire official says two-storey home will likely have to be torn down after blaze on Sunday morning
Six people were displaced and one cat was rescued in Surrey, B.C., on Sunday morning, after a home was destroyed by fire, officials say.
Surrey Fire Service assistant chief Mike McNamara says they received a call about a house fire early Sunday morning on the corner of Fraser Highway and 168 Street.
McNamara says that when firefighters arrived, they found a two-storey home engulfed in flames and thick smoke coming out of its windows.
All the residents made it out, but McNamara says his crews were told that a cat was still trapped inside.

No one was injured and the cause of the blaze is still under investigation.
But McNamara says the fire has left a "significant amount of damage" to the home, which will likely need to be torn down.
