None of the residents were injured.
The blaze caused several nearby homes to be evacuated. Traffic was diverted for several hours, but the area has since re-opened.
Surrey RCMP said the fire is suspicious in nature and are trying to determine the exact cause of the blaze.
“The house that burned is a problem house…the police [know] about it,” said next door neighbour Carmen Sterling.
