One woman is dead and dozens of people are displaced after a large apartment fire in Abbotsford on Wednesday night. A firefighter found one woman, who was in her 60s, during a secondary search of the building after the fire was under control. Layers in the ceiling and roof of the building made firefighting difficult, Abbotsford Fire said. (Gian-Paolo Mendoza/CBC)"Due to the extensive damage ... there was ceiling collapse and one of our firefighters on secondary search discovered the individual," said Assistant Chief Jeff Snider. "They were removed immediately and brought to BCAS [British Columbia Ambulance Service] ... and BCAS did the very best with what they had."
