Despite the efforts of firefighters, a home in the Dog Creek Road neighbourhood was destroyed by fire Friday, March 4.
Williams Lake Fire Department Chief Erick Peterson said they received the call for help at 3:15 p.m. regarding a structure fire at a home at Mussel Place, just off Carolyn Road.
When crews arrived, there was already heavy smoke and flames coming out of the home.
No one was injured in the fire, however, it is believed pets were lost in the blaze.
“It’s an unfortunate loss,” said Peterson of the fire.
In all, 22 firefighters from the WLFD attended the scene as well as RCMP and EHS.
Two tenders were used to transport water back and forth from a hydrant on Hodgson Road to fight the fire.
Crews were on scene until 7 p.m., and a fire investigator was back on the weekend to try and determine a cause.
