Six people were displaced and one cat has been saved following house fire in Surrey

SURREY, B.C. — Six people have been displaced and one cat has been rescued in Surrey, B.C., on Sunday morning after a home was destroyed by fire.

Surrey Fire Service assistant chief Mike McNamara says they received a call about a house fire early in the morning on the corner of Fraser Highway and 168 Street in the city.

McNamara says upon arrival, firefighters found a two-storey home was engulfed in flames and thick smoke was coming out of its windows.

All the residents made it out, but McNamara says his crews were told that a cat was still trapped inside.
