UPDATE: Blaze destroys South Enderby Boards building

(Update 9:15 a.m.) - Two buildings located along Highway 97A outside of Enderby were devastated by interface fire Monday evening.

According to Fire Chief Cliff Vetter, crews responded to the blaze around 5:15 p.m. at the site of South Enderby Boards where they used three tender trucks to get water on the blaze.

The building was comprised of two old school houses holding log furniture that provided plenty of fuel for the fire.

Luckily, company employees had all left the site by 4:30 p.m. and no injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Nicki Furlong, passerby who spotted the blaze, identified the building as a sawmill outside the city, towards Vernon.

Other witnesses posted on Facebook, also stating it was a sawmill beyond city limits, accompanying their accounts with photos depicting heavy smoke billowing from a building on the edge of a Highway 97A.

A volunteer firefighter on-site confirmed there was a fire to the south of the city, beyond city limits, but was unable to disclose which building or buildings were affected by the fire.
