No one has been hurt after a fire broke out at a legal grow-op in Langley

Crews were called to a legal marijuana grow-op Saturday night after a fire broke out at a barn

LANGLEY (NEWS 1130) – A marijuana grow-op has been destroyed after a fire overnight.

Langley fire crews were called to a barn on 256th street in Aldergrove late Saturday night for reports of a fire.

Firefighters have brought the flames under control.

“It is a grow-op but we have confirmed from Health Canada it is a legal licenced grow-op,” says Langley Deputy Fire Chief Bruce Ferguson. “The barn is pretty much on the ground, there’s nothing salvageable.”

Most fire trucks are just leaving the home in #Langley (256th and 48th Avenue) where there was a large fire last night. Police on scene saying gas was also involved, which is why crews were here so long. @NEWS1130 pic.twitter.com/i9gpS6gFOv — Cole Deakin (@ColeDeakin) May 20, 2018

It’s unclear what started the fire at this point, and crews say there’s little they can do about the damage.

“It’s a huge barn and when it collapses in on itself, all that metal cladding sits on top of the burning material.”

No one was hurt in the blaze, and nearby farms are not affected.

“They were concerned about their animals in the barn, but we put a crew over there and watched for a while but no issues with the farm or the animals.”

10 fire trucks and 60 firefighters remained at the scene through the night.

Callers to our newsroom who live in the area say it was an eventful night, and describe the flames as being 30 feet high.
