Residents of a home in South Surrey's Ocean Park neighbourhood were able to get out safely after a fire started late Sunday night.
The blaze started around 10 p.m. Sept. 15, Surrey Fire Service assistant chief Mike McNamara said Monday (Sept. 16).
"We're unsure on the cause of the fire at this point. (Firefighters) suspect it was on the ground floor," he said, noting firefighters were able to attack the blaze from the front door.
'The fire and smoke worked its way upstairs, but everyone got out – there were no injuries. One male patient was treated for some smoke inhalation... the smoke alarms alerted them and everyone managed to get out."
Firefighters knocked down the fire in just over a half-hour, but remained on scene until about 1 a.m., he added, to ensure any hot spots were out.
An investigator was scheduled to be on scene Monday to try to determine the cause of the fire.
