CHASE, B.C. — A Chase family escaped safely after their home was heavily damaged by fire yesterday.

Fire Chief Brian Lauzon says crews were called to the Brooke Drive home at about 4:20 yesterday afternoon.

When they arrived, they found a large fire in the home’s attic.

Firefighters knocked it down quickly, but Lauzon says the roof was destroyed and the rest of the home will likely need to be gutted due to extensive water damage.
