SPALLUMCHEEN, B.C. — Two employees were injured after a fire broke out at a farm on McLeery Road in Spallumcheen this morning.

The Armstrong-Spallumcheen Fire Department found a shed on the site in the 4700 block engulfed in flames around 11:00 a.m.

“The fire was quickly extinguished, however not before two employees of the farm received moderate burns to their bodies,” says RCMP Const. Kelly Brett.

Brett says the workers were transported to the nearest medical facility, with one being airlifted out by the BC Ambulance Service.

No animals were injured.

RCMP say the cause does not appear to be suspicious.

“(It) may have been caused by a propane powered pressure washer being used by farm staff, shortly before the fire broke out,” adds Brett.
