A plastics factory at 194th Street and 56th Avenue was the scene of a Thursday afternoon fire that sent black plumes of smoke billowing in the air and which could be seen as far away as Ladner.
Surrey fire crews aided by neighbourhing crews descended on Mansonville Plastics as RCMP rerouted the heavy traffic that uses that area. By mid afternoon the crews had knocked down the fire that created the heavy smoke and were dousing the area.
“It looks like a volcano,†said Newton resident Karlene Fortin, who spotted the fire as she walked to pick up her son from school.
