Burnaby emergency crews responded to a structure fire at a home in the Edmonds Park area Monday evening.

Assistant Fire Chief Joe Mora says the Burnaby Fire Department arrived at the home on 16th Avenue near Humphries Court to discover flames coming from the basement windows. He says 32 firefighters knocked down the flames.
