KAMLOOPS — Kamloops Fire Rescue (KFR) responded to a fire in a Brocklehurst cul-de-sac Tuesday (May 7) morning.

In a post to social media, KFR says crews were en route to 989 Lincoln Court for a structure fire at around 8:20 a.m.

According to KFR Deputy Chief Ryan Cail, once on scene, crew members made quick work, before the fire could spread.

“From the time on scene, with the extent of the fire, they did that real quick offensive knockdown in the basement, saved the rest of the house for sure,” Cail told CFJC News.
