Garage Fire Causes Significant Damage in Lake Country

Deputy Fire Chief Brent Penner said the blaze was contained mainly to the garage while officials investigate its cause.

  • All three fire halls in Lake Country responded to a house fire on Cemetery Road just after 2 p.m. Wednesday, with at least six fire trucks arriving on scene.
  • Deputy Fire Chief Brent Penner told Black Press the blaze started "in the proximity of a vehicle that was located in the garage," though the official cause remains under investigation.
  • Emergency resources including RCMP and FortisBC attended the scene alongside fire crews to manage the situation and contain damage mainly to the garage.
  • Three people were treated for smoke inhalation on scene, but Penner confirmed no one required transport to the hospital for further care.
  • Cemetery Road, closed at Davidson Road during the response, has since reopened, though fire crews remained on scene through the afternoon to monitor the site.
