About two dozen people, some complete strangers, headed back to the park Sunday to look for nine-year-old Maya.

North Vancouver fire crews are responding.

North Vancouver District assistant fire chief David Dales says firefighters were called to the home on Lima Road at 2 a.m.

The fire started in the balcony of a third-storey suite, the fire chief said, before spreading to the roof.

"The family was very smart, they did what you are supposed to do."

We may never know what caused a fire in a North Vancouver apartment complex that claimed the life of a mother and her young son. 

"It's amazing and everywhere we go, everybody we see just is hugging us, offering help to us, I'm really blown away by this."

While Sohail and his dad escaped the flames, his mom, Narges Casnajad, 50, and his seven-year-old brother, Sepehr, were killed in the fire.

The District of North Vancouver Fire Department sent out crews for two, back-to-back rescues in Lynn Canyon just before 1 p.m.

Fire crews are on scene battling flames near the Northwest Kennels on Monashee Drive, not far from Capilano University.
