Fire destroys under-construction Langley condo development

 

A large fire engulfed a Langley apartment complex on Monday night, cutting out power to the surrounding area and leading to the evacuation of nearby residents.

 

No one was living in the six-storey wood frame condo buildings on 208th Street and 80th Avenue, which were under construction.

 

Township of Langley firefighters received a call about the fire at 9:35 p.m. Approximately 60 firefighters and 14 vehicles fought the blaze, along with reinforcements from Langley Fire Rescue.

 

โ€œItโ€™s one of the largest fires we had to deal with in a number of years,โ€ said Deputy Fire Chief Bruce Ferguson of the Township of Langley Fire Department. He estimated the damage to be โ€œin the millions.โ€

 

There were no injuries from the blaze, which could be seen as far as Coquitlam and Abbotsford Monday night.

 

By Tuesday morning, the buildings where the fire raged have been reduced to charred rubble.

 

Metro-Can Construction, the general contractor for the site, said an employee spotted the fire and contacted the fire department. A security guard was also onsite when the fire broke out.
