A two-alarm fire at a home on Hunter Street Sunday morning is under investigation, according to the Burnaby Fire Department.
Firefighters were called to a home at 8193 Hunter St. just after 11 a.m. on Dec. 7. The call came in as a two-alarm structure fire and when crews arrived they determined the source of the fire was a vehicle parked inside a garage, Assistant Chief Darcy O’Shea told the NOW.
“A vehicle parked in a garage caught fire causing a large fire … in what’s essentially a two-car garage with an added section,” O’Shea said.
The fire was at risk of spreading up the side of the outside corner of the house but with some quick work firefighters were able to contain it, he added.
“Crews were able to contain the fire to the garage area so the fire did not extend to any other part of the house,” O’Shea said.
No one was hurt during the fire and all residents of the home had evacuated safely before firefighters arrived on scene.
The cause of the fire is under investigation at this time and O’Shea wouldn’t provide any details at this time but said investigators have ruled out suspicious activity.
