A large fire destroyed a greenhouse in Surrey early Saturday morning, causing "quite a spectacle," according to firefighters.
No one was injured in the blaze behind the Art Knapps garden centre on King George Boulevard at 44th Avenue, which broke out shortly before 1 a.m., according to Surrey Fire Service Asst. Chief Mike McNamara.
Video from the scene shows smoke and bright orange flames shooting into the sky above the greenhouse, which McNamara described as a roughly 10,000-square-foot, wire-framed structure wrapped in plastic. Roughly two dozen firefighters responded to the scene and conducted a defensive attack, knocking down the flames and extinguishing the blaze in less than an hour, McNamara said.
He said crews conducted a "tender" response, shuttling in water on trucks because there was no fire hydrant close enough to the scene to support the response.
