SURREY, B.C. -- A three-alarm fire in Surrey's Guildford area is being investigated by the Surrey Fire Service.
The blaze broke out in an apartment complex on 150 Street near 101 Avenue at about 7 a.m. Monday, according to asst. fire Chief Ben Dirksen.
"Upon arrival, they (firefighters) were met with a fire coming from a third floor unit," he said.
According to Dirksen, there was nobody inside the unit at the time of the fire, but one person suffered smoke inhalation, and another person was transported to hospital.
The ceiling of the exterior balcony was heavily damaged by the fire, and the balcony glass was also shattered.
