MISSION — Mounties in Mission have confirmed that a woman died and multiple other people were displaced following a house fire on Shaw Street in Mission Thursday morning (Nov. 6).

According to a statement from Corporal Harrison Mohr, Mission RCMP and the Mission Fire Rescue Service responded to a rural property on Shaw Street around 1:45 a.m. on November 6, after a neighbour reported a house was on fire.

First responders arrived to find the house fully engulfed, and were advised that one of the residents may not have made it out. Sadly, after the fire was extinguished, a deceased adult female was located inside.

One other male went to hospital for smoke inhalation, but no other serious injuries were reported, Cpl. Mohr said.

Police say the cause of the fire has not yet been determined, and investigators from Mission RCMP’s Serious Crime Unit and the Lower Mainland Integrated Forensic Identification Service will be working with fire investigators to try to identify how the fire started.
