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.
