Two people have been hospitalized after being rescued from a three-storey building with multiple suites that went up in flames Thursday morning.
Burnaby Fire Chief Chris Bowcock told Global News the three-alarm fire in the 300-block of Holdom Avenue has since been extinguished.
Forty-eight firefighters responded with seven engines, three ladder trucks and two rescue vehicles, along with RCMP, who remained on-scene to help control traffic.
As of noon on Thursday, Holdom Avenue north of Hastings Street remained closed to the public.
