Quick-acting residents are being praised for keeping a Coldstream fire from spreading.
A house fire was reported in the 1300 block of Sumac Lane at about 3 p.m. Wednesday.
"The neighbours had two hoses on it and they knocked down the flames," said Dave Sturgeon, Coldstream fire chief.
"We would like to thank them for their actions."
The fire began in the attic and spread to the exterior of the structure.
"We are trying to determine the cause," said Sturgeon, adding that the blaze may be linked to an attic fan.
The occupants of the residence were not injured during the incident and it's not known how much damage was done to the home.
Besides Coldstream and Lavington firefighters, the B.C. Ambulance Service, B.C. Hydro and the RCMP were on scene.
