Toronto, Ontario – May 21, 2019 – A fire destroyed two auto repair shops in Surrey, B.C. on Sunday morning.
Fire crews arrived on the scene, where Fountain Tire and Speedy Glass were engulfed in flames.
Asst. Fire Chief David Burns told Global News that the department had five aerial crews battling the fire because of the fears of chemicals inside.
“It’s a glass shop and a tire shop, so there’s a lot of chemicals and products in there that are in danger of exploding,” he said.
Although Burns said it is too early to determine how the fire started exactly, this is the second fire to erupt in the same area within the span of a month.
Jack’s Public House, which is blocks away from the Speedy Glass and Fountain Tire, was also destroyed in a fire that was deemed suspicious only a month ago.
“It’s a little odd that all these big fires are starting here,” the owner of Jack’s Public House told Global News.
