Maple Ridge firefighters responded to a call for a residential structure fire on 228th Street just before noon Wednesday.
Smoke was billowing from a boarded-up duplex just behind the MacDonald’s restaurant off Lougheed Highway.
Initial reports were that the duplex was abandoned.
Multiple fire trucks responded, while Ridge Meadows RCMP blocked off the road.
