A senior passed away after a house fire on Dundas Street near Ranelagh Avenue in the Capitol Hill area of North Burnaby.
Deadly fire
The BC Coroners Service confirmed that it is investigating the death of a woman in her 70s. The fire crews were called to the house just before 1 AM after reports of heavy fire. By the time they arrived, the house was already engulfed and there were reports of a person trapped inside.
The firefighters rushed into the burning building. The crews were seen performing CPR on the woman near the house but it appears that she did not survive her injuries. Another person made it out of the house without serious injuries but was transported to a healthcare facility.
