Coquitlam Fire and Rescue crews were busy battling a blaze in southwest Coquitlam Monday afternoon.
The incident occurred shortly after 1 p.m. at a home on Dansey Avenue, where crews arrived to a fully involved house fire.
Fire chief Wade Pierlot said at 3 p.m. that there were no injuries reported and that all of the occupants were able to get out of the home before the fire spread.
"At this point, it looks like [firefighters] have it mostly knocked down," he said. "They are dealing with a roof structure now."
The two-storey structure was fully engulfed in flames when crews arrived and Pierlot said firefighters took a defensive approach to battling the blaze once they learned that there were no occupants in the home.
