  • One dead in Surrey apartment building fire

SURREY, B.C. - A fire in an apartment building in Surrey's Whalley neighbourhood Tuesday night has left one person dead.

Surrey RCMP were called to the building on 107a Ave. near King George Blvd. at about 8:20 p.m.

Upon arrival, officers found a lower floor suite fully engulfed in flames, and began evacuating the building.

Firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze shortly after arriving at the scene, and found the victim inside the unit where the fire is believed to have originated.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but there is currently no indication the fire was suspicious.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Surrey RCMP.

Public asked to keep eye out for missing 21-year-old Delta resident Anmol Jagat
“Anmol’s family is extremely concerned for his safety, and says disappearing in such a manner is not in his character,” says Cris Leykauf, spokesperson for Delta Police. She notes the family only moved to North Delta three months from outside BC, so Anmol is not that familiar with the area.
