One person is dead following a house fire in Surrey early Monday.
Firefighters from both Delta and Surrey responded to a blaze in a residential building behind a neighbourhood grocer at 11779 96 Ave. at around 5:45 a.m.
Surrey Assistant Fire Chief Steve Serbic says Delta firefighters arrived first at the scene and found a fully involved fire in the two-level home’s basement suite.
“They found someone in the basement and they pulled them out, but unfortunately they didn’t make it,” said Serbic.
A total of 30 firefighters with six trucks from Surrey and four from Delta were required to extinguish the fire.
The name of the victim hasn’t been released.
