“On arrival crews found a small building fully engulfed in fire and partially collapsed,” he said. “Neighbours report that nobody lives on the property and the small structure was empty.”

Members from Murrayville, Otter and Aldergrove responded to the scene, Hewitson said. Crews quickly doused the flames, he noted, preventing further spread.

No injuries were reported as a result of the fire. A cause has not yet been determined.
