At least five homes suffered heavy damage from an early morning fire at a Langley townhouse complex on Tuesday.
The blaze appears to have begun from a pickup truck near one of the units at 205th Street and 66th Avenue around 5:20 a.m.
It then quickly spread to a number of nearby units and between 12 and 16 people had to leave their homes.
One person had to be treated for smoke inhalation.
A GoFundMe has now been started to help two residents rebuild their home.
