The Cache Creek Fire Department responded and managed to get the blaze under control quickly, with no loss of any adjacent buildings. The RCMP, B.C. Ambulance, and Fortis Gas also responded. Eyewitnesses said that the building was engulfed in flames within minutes. No cause has yet been determined.
