KAMLOOPS — Kamloops firefighters say they’re still working to determine the cause of a Sunday (Feb. 9) evening fire at a downtown carriage house.

“At this point, we can’t really speak to the cause,” Kamloops Fire Rescue (KFR) Life Safety Educator Captain Jeff Pont said Monday.

“We’ve got our investigators and RCMP looking into the cause right now and as that evolves, we can share more information.”

Speaking to CFJC at Seymour Street and Sixth Avenue, Pont says crews were called around 8:00 p.m. Sunday, and found the building fully engulfed when they got there.

“They spent a couple hours putting out the fire,” Pont said.

“They weren’t able to make entry into the building yesterday because it was so full of storage and different things. But they put the fire out and stopped it from spreading to the adjacent buildings.”
