A massive fire at the port in Delta, B.C., sent a plume of smoke into the sky Saturday morning.


Images posted on social media show smoke and flames visible from the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal.


Global Container Terminals told CTV News the fire was not at its facility – which is known as GCT Deltaport – but at the Westshore Terminals facility next door.


Collectively, the two facilities are known as Roberts Bank.


CTV News has reached out to Westshore Terminals and the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority for more information about the incident. This story will be updated if a response is received.


A witness who lives on Tsawwassen Beach Road said he saw the smoke out his window around 8 a.m., but by 10 a.m., the fire appeared to be largely put out.


Delta police said they did not respond to the scene and referred questions to the Delta Fire Department. CTV News has contacted firefighters and BC Emergency Health Services for more information.


This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
