A Surrey firefighter watches as a hose douses flames at a concrete manufacturing facility in the area of 192nd Street and 54th Avenue early Saturday morning. Fire crews were called to the blaze in the industrial area just before 4 a.m. A Black Press Media freelancer said smoke and flames could be seen coming from the main building of the compound and multiple buildings including the mixing silo. There were no reports of any injuries. For more photos, visit us online at surreynowleader.com. (Photo: Shane MacKichan)

Surrey city council has unanimously decided to borrow $150.6 million for three major community projects although some councillors expressed trepidation about the city taking on so much debt. Council passed third reading Monday on authorizing borrowing, through the Municipal Finance Authority of British Columbia, $40 million to construct a sports complex in the city centre, $20.6 million to build a sports and ice complex in Cloverdale and $90 million to construct a community centre in Newton. “We definitely need these facilities for our young families,” Councillor Linda Annis said.
