The facility was operated by BC Tweed, a cannabis grower that shut down operations in March, Wood confirmed.
A massive plume of black smoke, described by some on social media as a “mushroom cloud” could be seen from several kilometres away.
Delta police said there were no initial reports of injuries from the fire.
