KAMLOOPS — A brutal Boxing Day for a family in the North Shuswap after a fire destroyed their house, garage and two vehicles.

Chase RCMP Cpl. Scott Linklater says the blaze broke out yesterday morning on Squilax-Anglemont Road in St. Ives.

“Celista and Anglemont volunteer fire departments arrived on scene to find a house had been lost to fire and a detached garage still burning.”

Linklater says the homeowners were out of the community for the holidays when the fire started.
