The Burnaby Fire Department put an extra truck and more personnel into service on Halloween night in anticipation of a spike in calls.
“We had a lot of calls,” assistant fire Chief Graham Lamont told the NOW.
A few hours later, at 12:45 a.m., firefighters were called to the 5700 block of Elsom Avenue for a residential building fire, Lamont said.Crews also responded to more minor calls, like a rubbish fire at a construction site in the 5700 of Portland Street at about 8:55 p.m., and medical calls, like a pepper spraying incident on Pandora Street in North Burnaby at about 10:30 p.m.
But preliminary investigations into that fire and the Elsom blaze have so far proved inconclusive, according to Rob Lamoureux, the fire department’s acting chief of fire prevention.
