A Gibsons' home is nearly a total loss after a fire tore through the home Saturday night.

Gibsons firefighters were called to the structure fire in the 600 block of Gower Point Road just after 10 p.m. Feb. 12.

According to department spokesperson Dale Boghean the area of origin was a bedroom.

"Two occupants lived in the home, but only one was home at the time of the fire," said Boghean. "She required and received medical attention after being transported to the hospital by ambulance. The loss is nearly total as the renovated nature of the building allowed fire spread through a secondary roof structure. Smoke damage was extensive throughout the structure."

In all, 15 firefighters responded to the call-out. The department cleared from the scene shortly after 2 a.m.

He said the cause is still under investigation.
