Halloween proved to be a busy night for firefighters in Metro Vancouver as they battled a few fires across the city.

One blaze broke out at a West End high-rise in Vancouver on Halloween evening.

Around 6 p.m. on October 31, a three-alarm fire developed at a 28-storey building located at 1111 Beach Avenue, at Thurlow Street, near Sunset Beach.

When Vancouver firefighters arrived, heavy smoke and flames, which broke through windows, were coming out of a 16^th floor studio suite.

Emergency social services assisted residents and no injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

The fire took place not far from another three-alarm blaze that occurred on June 2 at 1275 Pacific Street, which was later determined to be caused by linseed oil-soaked rags igniting.

Several other minor fires took place in the city, according to CBC News.

Meanwhile in Surrey's Guildford area, a three-alarm fire started around 11:30 p.m. last night (October 31) in a suite on the third floor of a three-storey apartment building on 150^th Street near 105th Avenue.

Although the fire was contained to the suite, other units were damaged by smoke or water.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
