A two-alarm fire broke out in an apartment in a highrise at Sanders Street and Nelson Avenue on Thursday night.
The Burnaby Fire Department was called to the building at 4960 Sanders St. just after 9: 30 p.m., according to fire chief Shaun Redmond.
"It was confined to the suite," he said, adding it was fully involved - requiring fire streams from outside the suite - when firefighters arrived.
There were no apparent injuries to either the occupants or firefighters, according to Redmond.
Redmond could not comment on whether or not other suites in the apartment building were affected by water or smoke damage, but he said the occupants had to make other plans for the night.
The fire is under investigation by the department today, Redmond added.
