North Vancouver Fire Rescue Services crews battled a blaze that scorched the Woodlands area of Deep Cove along the waterfront last night.
Heavy flames could be seen in the trees just past Quarry Rock.
A Vancouver fire boat and the B.C. Wildfire Service were called in to help with the situation.
The fire was described as an aggressive “rank three” wildfire, meaning a ground fire with fire into trees, and covered about 150 square metres.
