RCMP have confirmed a body was found after crews had put out a mobile home fire in Osoyoos early this morning.

Osoyoos Fire and Rescue and Osoyoos RCMP responded at around 6:30 a.m. today, Jan. 19, to a mobile home fire at the Avalon Mobile Home Park on Main Street, according to an RCMP press release.

RCMP said first responders arrived on the scene quickly, but the fire had already engulfed the mobile home.
