A massive fire broke out in a condominium complex near the Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, B.C., late Wednesday afternoon.

The complex, which is on Sherbrooke Street behind the hospital, was under construction. Known as the Copperstone, it's made up of three buildings containing 230 units.

A massive fire broke out near a hospital on Sherbrooke Street in New Westminster, B.C., late Wednesday afternoon.
(CBC) Firefighters from both New Westminster and Burnaby are on the scene. A plume of smoke and flames can be seen from some distance.

Fire officials said there are no reports of any injuries at this point and the three-alarm blaze doesn't pose a danger to nearby structures.

Hospital officials said patients are in no immediate danger but the air intakes have been shut down to avoid smoke getting into the hospital. The hospital helipad is not being used for now.

The cause of the fire is not known at this point.
