File # 2022-749

The Chase RCMP along with its partners at the Adams Lake Fire Department and the BC Coroners Service are investigating a fatal weekend structure fire.

On April 8, 2022, at 11:46 p.m., Adams Lake Fire Department, BC Ambulance Services and Chase RCMP responded to a report of a structure fire on the Adams Lake Reserve. When emergency services arrived, the structure was fully engulfed in flames.

Tragically, human remains were discovered after the fire was extinguished. The exact cause of the fire is still under investigation however there is no evidence to indicate that the cause of the fire was suspicious in nature.

The BC Coroners Service is conducting its own fact finding investigation into the incident.

Our thoughts are with the victims’ families at this difficult time.
