A fire broke out in a townhouse in Mission on Monday morning, forcing six people to flee their homes. The Mission Fire Rescue Service responded promptly to the incident on Fraser Crescent near Logan Avenue and managed to contain the flames to a single unit. Fortunately, no one was injured, but the property sustained significant damage due to the fire. An investigation is now underway to determine the cause of the blaze.
As a result of the fire, the Mission RCMP had to close the Cedar Valley Connector to northbound traffic from north of Lougheed Highway to Ross Drive. While southbound traffic remained open, delays were expected, prompting drivers to seek alternative routes to avoid congestion.
