A fire at a U-Haul storage facility in Surrey has left 10 units destroyed on Friday.
Crews were called to the area of King George Blvd. and 84th Ave. just before 5 p.m.
Pillars of black smoke could be seen coming out of the building.
Surrey Fire Batallion Chief Kevin Beenham says it grew pretty quickly from the inside.
“We ended up at the third alarm, just for man power due to the intensity and difficulty getting into the units to extinguish the small fires. It did go through the roof, due to the fire load.”
The cause of the fire is under investigation and no one was injured.
Elsewhere, Maple Ridge fire crews battled a blaze that broke out of a commercial building on Lougheed Highway just before 8 p.m.
The intersection at Lougheed Highway and 223rd St. had been blocked off to traffic.
No word on what sparked the blaze, or if there has been any injuries.
