A condo complex was badly damaged by fire in the City of Langley on Friday evening.
Footage from the Global 1 helicopter showed massive flames shooting from the roof of the complex at 56 Avenue and 198 Street, and a column of black smoke could be seen from kilometres away.
Crews were able to extinguish the flames by shortly after 7 p.m.
However multiple units in the building appear to be a complete loss.
No word yet on any injuries.
The response by firefighters forced the closure of 56 Avenue between 196 and 200 Street.
It’s not yet clear where or how the fire broke out.
Photos shared with Global News show several units on the structure’s top floor that appear to be a total loss.
