Pall of smoke covers downtown Oliver…. for a time

All pix large format – this taken from Gala Street

2:40 Sunday Morning

555 Earle Crescent – fully involved fire – started at rear and moving to the front – being attacked from two sides. Neighbours notified.

This is a confirmed suspicious fire as the house is a reported closed up drug house. No occupants. Firefighters with full “air” gear accessed the interior up stairs and down for fire that might be there.
A lot of smoke inside with damage at the rear.

This is about the 4th time this year first responders have been dispatched to that location.

All units of Oliver Fire Department on the scene. RCMP as well. EMS to handle firefighter distress. No injuries reported.

Compliments to Fortis Electrical for being quick on the disconnect

All units left the scene by 5 am
