Burnaby fire crews now have control of a blaze that broke out early Friday on the outskirts of Deer Lake Park.
An old storage building named Carriage House, near the Burnaby Art Gallery, went up in flames early Friday.
Crews quickly upgraded it to a two-alarm fire when they arrived.
They had to remove part of the building’s roof to get to the flames. The fire is not threatening any other buildings.
