No injuries in massive overnight fire in Whistler

Whistler firefighters say a massive fire that broke out overnight in a construction site is not believed to be suspicious.

Photos and videos posted to social media showed flames visible from kilometres away.

Whistler Fire Rescue says every firefighter in the municipality was called to respond, as they worked to prevent the flames from spreading to two neighbouring properties and a nearby propane tank.
