Dec 6, 2017 | 4:47 AM

KAMLOOPS — RCMP reacted quickly to put out a fire downtown early this morning that threatened a seniors complex.

Just after 12:30 this morning, an officer on patrol downtown spotted a fire behind the Bedford Manor at 529 Seymour Street.

The rear of the building was on fire near the rear exit.

Several members came to assist and between them, were able to use the fire extinguishers in their vehicles to contain things until Kamloops Fire and Rescue arrived to finish the job, and vent smoke from the building.
