Five homes were burned in a residential fire in Surrey Wednesday evening and multiple people who lived there have been forced out of their homes.
Surrey RCMP says the Surrey Fire Service called the detachment for help just before 6:30 pm because of the structure fire burning in the 19200 block of 73rd Avenue — near 193rd Street.
“While police were en route, they were updated that the fire had spread to four additional residences,” Cpl. Vanessa Munn said. “Thankfully, everyone was evacuated safely and no injuries were reported; however, multiple people have been displaced.”
4 houses burned, 2 partially damaged. Everyone got out safe from what I heard, in Surrey.
