The Osoyoos Fire Department rushed to a big blaze just after 3:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon.
Three engines, a rescue truck and command unit responded to the fire on 100th Avenue.
“This was a wind-driven fire, and crews quickly got to work to protect a neighboring home that was a significant exposure risk,” the fire department wrote on its Facebook page.
“Crews got a good knockdown on the fire, bringing it under control.”
