A fire broke out in a basement suite under a produce store at 96 Avenue and 117B Street just before 6 a.m.
The Delta Fire Department arrived first as the house is very close to the Delta border.
Surrey Fire and Rescue Services also rushed to the scene and confirmed one person was pulled from the home but did not survive.
