Passerby sets free several horses during barn fire in Surrey, B.C.
SURREY, B.C. – A passerby may have saved the lives of several horses after setting them free during a barn fire in Surrey, B.C.
Surrey RCMP say firefighters and Mounties responded at around 12 p.m. to a fully-engulfed blaze (in the 16600-block of 16th Avenue).
Sgt. Paul Hayes says a passerby noticed smoke coming out of the barn and let out several horses, which remain on the property.
He says it’s not known whether all the horses got out but there have not been any reports of injured animals at this time.
The road around the property was closed for several hours before reopening just after 4 p.m.
The cause of the fire remains unknown.
