No injuries were reported after a house went up in flames in Cloverdale Tuesday.
More than 20 Surrey firefighters battled for almost an hour to gain control of the fire in the 5800-block of 168 Street, according to a Black Press freelancer. Three residents reportedly escaped the fire with no injuries.
The freelancer at the scene said when crews arrived, flames could be seen shooting from the two-story residence.
Cpl. Vanessa Munn with Surrey RCMP told the Now-Leader that the cause of the fire is not suspicious.
This is the same house where in 2021, a man barricaded himself for more than four hours before he was taken into police custody.
