One taken to hospital with smoke inhalation after early morning house fire in Vernon
One person was taken to hospital with smoke inhalation after an early morning house fire in Vernon Tuesday.
Firefighters were dispatched to the 25th Avenue fire about 1:10 a.m. following report of smoke coming from a single-storey house on the 3600 block.
Crews arrived to find heavy smoke coming from the front of the structure.
“Crews advanced on the fire and quickly contained it to the front portion of the house,” says deputy fire chief Alan Hofsink.
“The house sustained significant smoke and fire damage. When crews arrived, all occupants of the home were already outside, and one person was transported to hospital for smoke inhalation and undetermined injuries.”
Once the fire was contained, crews confirmed there was no extension to other parts of the structure, nor adjacent properties.
The displaced residents have been offered assistance through Emergency Support Services.
RCMP, BC Ambulance Service and FortisBC also attended the scene.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
