FALKLAND, B.C. — A house and two vehicles were destroyed by a fire at a farming property near Falkland this morning (April 9).
The home along Highway 97 near Salmon River Road was not in any fire protection area, so no crews were able to respond.
The occupants say everyone got out safely, and they don’t know how it started.
“It was a structure fire and it was outside of fire department jurisdiction, so we didn’t respond. We’re not equipped to deal with structure fires. We relayed the information to the RCMP,” a spokesperson from the BC Wildfire Service told Beach Radio News.
