Police investigate Port Moody house fire

Port Moody firefighters say police are investigating after a fire broke out at a home in the 3300 block of Dewdney Trunk Road on Sunday.

"It's a police investigation at this point," said Port Moody fire chief Remo Faedo."When we arrived there was one person that was standing out in front of the house on the lawn that had third degree burns."

Images from the scene show that man being led in handcuffs by police officers. The Port Moody Police Department has not yet commented on the case.

Faedo says two adults and five children were in the home at the time and all were taken to hospital for treatment, with some of the children sustaining minor burns and suffering from smoke inhalation.

Fire investigators are working to determine the cause of the blaze.
