Two people died in a fire on the Adams Lake band reserve on Friday night, April 8.

Chase RCMP report that the Adams Lake Fire Department, BC Ambulance Service and RCMP responded to a report of a structure fire about 11:45 p.m. April 8.

When emergency crews arrived, the RV trailer 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,” reported Chase RCMP. “Our thoughts are with the victims’ families at this difficult time.”

The Phelps family has announced the passing of Kyle Daniel Phelps, 49, and his partner Nikki Mueller.
