A massive apartment fire in Duncan, B.C. late Sunday morning has sent at least 13 people to hospital with smoke inhalation.
Firefighters said they had a hard time evacuating the building, located in the 600-block of Dobson Road. Due to past false alarms, officials had to go door-to-door to clear the building.
Fire crews said the blaze began on the ground floor and spread up through balconies on all four floors.
