LANGLEY — The Langley Fire Department had an early, explosive start to the morning after a downtown apartment site set ablaze Sunday (Aug. 17).

At around 4:13 a.m., RCMP and multiple fire engines responded to the scene of a condo building under construction in the 20100 block of Fraser Highway after 4:15 a.m.

“Out of an abundance of caution, several neighbouring residential buildings were evacuated,” said Sergeant Zynal Sharoom of the Langley RCMP. “We are working with the Langley City Fire Rescue on this incident and the investigation into the cause of this fire is on-going.”

Nearby residents reported a large boom, followed by debris sparking off for more than 200 metres away from the six-storey site.

Residents note that the largely wooden construction site has been under development for several years. The condo initially had an expected completion date of summer 2024, but has since been pushed back to April 2026.
