VIDEO WITH UPDATE: Fire strikes rural south Aldergrove property

Fire crews were on the scene for several hours


91原创 Township firefighters responded to a fire on a property south of Aldergrove just after 7 p.m. last Wednesday, April 23, that sent at least one person to hospital. 

Locals noticed the large plume of smoke rising from the area in the early evening. According to Township deputy fire chief Russ Jenkins, the fire was in a large garage structure in the back of the property, in the 25700-block of 10 Avenue. It was a detached structure, about 25 X 50 feet, that was fully involved when his team arrived.

At least one person was taken by ambulance to hospital, Jenkins confirmed. But he had no information on that person鈥檚 condition. 

Given it鈥檚 rural location and lack of water hydrants in the area, firefighters used water tankers to shuttle water to the fire scene. 

RCMP closed down 256 Street for several hours while firefighters fought the blaze. 

According to 91原创 RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Zynal Sharoom, the fire is not considered suspicious. Jenkins said, as of press deadline, there was no information yet on the cause.
