From the City of Williams Lake:
The Williams Lake Fire Department responded to a fire at 4019 Frizzi Road Thursday afternoon with three pieces of apparatus and 21 firefighters. Upon their arrival, fire was showing on the roof.
One male occupant of the home was taken to hospital by ambulance with smoke inhalation. Firefighters worked on the fire for two hours, and contained most damage to the roof area.
“It appears the fire started due to an improper chimney for a wood heater,” says Deputy Fire Chief Des Webster. There is no damage estimate available. Webster reminds homeowners to ensure wood stoves and other heaters are installed according to manufacturer instructions or the Building Code.
“If there are any doubts about proper installation, people should call a wood stove inspectors to do an inspection.”
