SPENCES BRIDGE, B.C. — A century-old home in Spences Bridge was reduced to ashes this morning, and it’s owner says this is the first year in the past 50 the structure had been uninsured.
The house was one of two on Mike Rice’s family property, and was home to his son Jake.
By the time anyone noticed the fire early this morning, the house was fully ablaze.
“My daughter, at 4:30 this morning, thought she slept in and thought the sun was shining in her bedroom window. She looked out her bedroom window and the house was fully engulfed in flames,” said Rice.” That’s when I ran out and started screaming for my son.”
