KFR evicts tenants on West Seymour Street after fearing fatal ending to numerous fire code violations
KAMLOOPS — Kamloops fire chief Ken Uzeloc feared the worst on West Seymour Street, where there were numerous fire code violations.
“My biggest fear is we were going to have a fire in one of those rooms where we didn’t have alarms or early-warning devices and we were going to end up with a multi-fatality fire in that building.”
Uzeloc says shutting down the housing unit at 91 West Seymour Street was a last resort, but he notes it was only a matter of time before something tragic happened.
