Police are canvassing a west Vancouver neighbourhood after an early morning fire at a home in the British Properties.
The flames broke out at approximately 1:30 a.m. at a home on Chelsea Close. Due to the home being completely engulfed in flames and too dangerous for firefighters to enter, crews were forced to use a defensive approach by fighting the flames from above.
