A family of five is homeless after fire destroyed their home on Pheasant Road in the BX Monday night.

The BX-Swan Lake Fire department and Coldstream both responded, but the house was completely in flames when crews got on scene.

BX Fire Chief Bill Wacey says the family was eating supper with a friend when the fire began.

“They were upstairs eating, they smelled smoke, went downstairs into the basement laundry room area. They opened up the door and there was a wall of flame inside,” says Wacey.
