KAMLOOPS, B.C. – One person is dead after a fire at a restaurant in Kamloops, B.C.

RCMP say an officer patrolling the area Saturday morning noticed smoke and fire coming from the rear of the eatery, which was closed at the time.

Police tried to put out the fire, which was limited mostly to a shed or outbuilding attached to the back of the restaurant, until firefighters arrived and extinguished it.
