“It was some dark black smoke coming out of it,” he added.

“There was nobody inside the house; there was one dog that was brought out uninjured.”

However, five people are now displaced as a result of the fire.

Shortly after arriving, firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze.

SFS has not revealed yet what ignited the fire.

“The inspector will be attending to determine what the cause was,” Schmor said.

The Surrey Police Service was on scene as well to temporarily close 154 Street while firefighters were dealing with the blaze.

The road closures have now been lifted.
