Deadly house fire near Buck Lake deemed non-suspicious

Jun 18, 2021 | 12:54 PM

Breton RCMP say the investigation into a deadly house fire earlier this month near Buck Lake has determined the incident to be non-suspicious.

It was about 11 a.m. on June 2 when first responders attended the blaze at a home in the area of Township Road 465 and Range Road 63.

Upon entry to the property, RCMP officers who were investigating a separate occurrence nearby, were told there were two kids trapped inside.

Members tried to rescue the children, but the extent of the fire rendered that impossible.

Sadly, the one-year-old boy and four-year-old girl, both from Drayton Valley, passed away.
