Late-night garage fire

Penticton firefighters responded to a fully involved structure fire early this morning.

Just before 1 a.m., a two-storey garage caught fire on Middle Bench Road.

Three crews attended the blaze, in which open flames could be seen rising from the building.

All occupants of the building got out safely.

Two fire engines, a command unit, RCMP and B.C. Ambulance paramedics all responded to the incident. City utility and works crews were also brought in to deal with power to the structure and freezing water from the firefight that was icing up the road.

By 2 a.m., firefighters had knocked the fire down and were checking for hotspots and mopping up.

There is no word yet on the cause of the fire.
