Fire officials have wrapped up their on site investigation of a fire that totalled a house on Torrent Drive in Coldstream last Friday (March 10).
Keith Green, Coldstream’s protective services manager, said the blaze started in a bedroom on the first floor as he was told by the occupants, the homeowner and his adult daughter.
“However, given there were multiple ignition sources in the area of origin, I cannot rule any of them out at this point,” Green told Vernon Matters.
“We retrieved a number of items from the area that we believe the fire started in and we will examine them in further detail in the next week or so to see if we can pinpoint the exact cause.”
