Firefighters and police were called out May 3 to a balcony fire that broke out in one of the Woodcroft apartment towers in the District of North Vancouver.
District firefighters received multiple calls of a fire on the balcony of a suite on the 16th floor of the Seymour Tower at 2008 Fullerton Ave. around 8 p.m. Crews evacuated the building and forced their way into the suite, which had nobody home at the time.
Crews quickly extinguished the blaze, which had broken through the porch window and had begun spreading into the suite.
Nobody was injured in the fire although the suite sustained both smoke and water damage. The cause of the fire hasn’t been determined, but Mike Cairns, assistant fire chief for the district, said the blaze was not suspicious.
The deck contained no barbecue, cigarette butts or chemicals, Cairns confirmed.
