According to B.C. Emergency Health Services, eight ambulances were sent to the scene of the fire. Four people were taken to hospital, with two of those in critical condition. The other two suffered non-life threatening injuries.

No information was released on the age of the individuals.

Surrey Fire’s Deputy Chief John Lehmann told Postmedia that fire crews arrived to find “light smoke” from the lower section of the building and were told there were people still inside.

Firefighters staged an aggressive interior attack to locate three people and pull them to safety.

Lehmann said the fire was knocked down quickly and contained to the basement of the home, but that the cause of the fire has not been determined.

RCMP and Surrey Fire investigators are now probing the scene to determine a cause of the blaze.
