Flames destroy house on Horsefly Road near Williams Lake

On Sept. 29, a structural fire destroyed a home on Horsefly Road near 150 Mile House, with Regional Fire Chief Roger Hollander confirming that emergency crews responded to the incident.
The 150 Mile Volunteer Fire Department led the response, with assistance from the Miocene Volunteer Fire Department and the Williams Lake Fire Department; Hollander praised the coordinated effort of these regional teams.
Homeowner Lana Wilson, who operates Rustic Country Candles at the Prosperity Ridge Shopping Centre, was away during the fire; while the occupant avoided injury, a dog unfortunately perished in the blaze.
