Sun Peaks Fire Rescue (SPRF) were called to a house fire in Whitecroft Village around 3 p.m. yesterday afternoon. Although it's not uncommon for municipalities to respond to fires in areas that extend beyond their boundaries, SPRF do not usually attend to fires in the Whitecroft area.
"We've gone from high to moderate (fire danger) and we were concerned that this fire could spread and directly affect Sun Peaks and that's reason we went down that far."
Cannon said he spoke with CEO Rob Bremner of Sun Peaks Municipality about the risks involved in (this type of fire), and it was determined there could be a substantial risk to Sun Peaks if the fire grew from one house to the next and into a forest fire with SunPeaks being at the top of the forest.
"I was given permission to send a truck and a crew down to confine the fire to the house of origin," said Cannon. "Captain Harrison was the incident commander, he took a crew of five other firefighters down . . . with Engine 3 and they successfully contained the house fire to just the house."
Due to the quick action of Sun Peaks Fire Rescue, no other homes were damaged during the fire.
