KAMLOOPS — Fire ripped through a Westsyde home this afternoon, destroying the home’s contents and killing the family dog.

The blaze was reported at 4307 Karindale Road, at about 2:40 this afternoon.

Acting Captain Dan Funk says firefighters doused the flames as soon as they arrived.

“We started the attack on the main [floor], then we did attack on the second floor. We searched the main, and the second floor, all that was found unfortunately was a dog, he did not make it. Firefighters did try to resuscitate the dog, with no luck unfortunately,” explained Funk.
