Structure fire knocked down in Timber Ridge
Members of the Windermere Fire Department attended a structure fire in the Timber Ridge area last night (Sept. 17).
“When we arrived on scene, the home was fully involved,” said Columbia Valley Rural Fire and Rescue Service Assistant Chief Thomas Dobbin. “All the firefighters did an excellent job getting the fire knocked down so it didn’t spread into nearby trees or other structures.”
In total 15 members from the Windermere Fire Department responded to the call with four pieces of apparatus.
The Invermere Fire Department also responded to support the suppression efforts with six members and one apparatus along with BC Ambulance and RCMP.
While all occupants were able to get out of the home, one person was taken to hospital with burns for further assessment and treatment.
Fire crews remained on scene during the evening until the fire was fully cooled down and mopped up.
The cause of the fire is not known at this time and is under investigation.
