Fire department issues cedar hedge warning after destructive fire
Kamloops Fire Rescue (KFR) is reminding residents about cedar hedge care following a structure fire in the city’s Westsyde on Wednesday (Aug. 24).
In a social media post Friday (Aug. 26) morning, KFR says an outbuilding was damaged and a vehicle was destroyed by a fire that started in a backyard cedar hedge. The hedge was reportedly quickly destroyed and immediately spread to the vehicle and outbuilding before KFR was on scene.
On arrival, KFR says crews quickly knocked down the fire before it was able to spread to adjacent houses.
