The top of a single-family home in South Burnaby was scorched by fire Tuesday.
Firefighters were called to 6069 Patrick St. at about 3:45 p.m., according to Mawhinney.
On arrival, they found thick black smoke and flames coming from the roof.
Much of the smoke, however, came from plastic lawn furniture and patio flooring, according to the assistant fire chief, and the fire was mostly contained to the rooftop.
The cause of the blaze is undetermined, Mawhinney told the NOW, but it appears to have started in a planter on the roof.
