One person is dead after a fire at an apartment building in Whalley Tuesday night.
Surrey RCMP says the fire broke out at 8:20 p.m. at Whalley Blvd and 107A Ave at an apartment building.
When officers arrived, the lower floor of the building was found to be fully engulfed — they quickly evacuated the building but weren’t able to make it into the suite where the fire started.
