A fourth-alarm fire tore through a Langley construction site early Friday. Crews from Surrey assisted as RCMP seek dashcam footage for the investigation.
Major Blaze Overnight in Langley
An early morning fire in Langley, B.C., escalated to a fourth alarm overnight, drawing in firefighters from both the Township of Langley and Surrey. The fire broke out shortly after midnight on Friday, August 8, 2025, and quickly grew in intensity.
Details of the Fire
The blaze consumed a large structure that was still under construction. Langley RCMP later confirmed that the building was unoccupied at the time, and no injuries were reported. Firefighters battled flames for hours as thick smoke filled the surrounding area.
Community Impact
Authorities are urging the public to avoid the scene while crews continue to secure the site. The Langley City Firefighters Association noted that members remain on standby to support colleagues and extended thoughts to all those affected by the incident.
Why the Alarm Reached Fourth Level
The fire’s size and complexity required multiple units to respond. Surrey Fire Services joined Township of Langley firefighters to provide backup as crews worked to prevent the flames from spreading to nearby properties. Fourth-alarm status typically indicates a large-scale response involving dozens of personnel and equipment.
How Investigators Are Responding
Langley RCMP have launched an investigation into the cause of the blaze. Officers are seeking dashcam footage from 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. in the area, under file number 2025-21746. Police believe video evidence could help determine how the fire started.
Next Steps
With the fire now largely contained, investigators will remain on site in the coming days to assess damage and gather evidence. Updates from Langley City are expected as officials work to restore normalcy in the affected area.
