Elderly couple found dead after fire destroys home in Surrey

BY , Jul 23, 2020 6:18 PM - REPORT AN ERRORLAST UPDATED ON Jul 23, 2020 6:35 PM

Two people have died in a house fire in B.C.'s Lower Mainland.

Surrey Fire Service assistant chief Steve Serbic says crews were called just after 4:30 a.m.

An elderly man and woman were pulled from the home a short time later.

The blaze destroyed the upper floor of the house in Surrey's northwest corner.

Serbic says crews had a difficult time reaching the fire, because the property was surrounded by debris and there was more inside the home. A cause has not yet been determined.
