At 11:51p.m. on December 28, 2017 the Kimberley Fire Department responded to a structure fire on Dewdney Way. Two single family condo units were extensively damaged. The fire was controlled by crews shortly after arrival.

One ladder truck and one fire engine along with 15 personnel were on scene. There were no reported injuries to occupants or firefighters. The occupants, who were here on vacation, called the fire department and Kimberley Fire Chief, Rick Prasad says they got out “okay”. They have since been accomodated at a hotel.

As of Tuesday, Jan. 2, Prasad says that the cause of the fire is still under investigation at this time.

“We’ve done what we can so far,” said Prasad. “We’re sifting through all of the data and information right now.”
