Fire investigators are probing the circumstances surrounding a handful of wildfires sparked just north of Salmo.
On July 24, the Salmo RCMP and the Salmo Fire Department responded alongside one another to as many as four brush fires located north west of the Hwy 3 and Hwy 6 intersection. Police believe that all four fires were human caused and have reason to believe that they may have been deliberately set.
Our investigators have been working diligently on this case, and have seized physical evidence from the fire scenes, said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey, spokesman for the BC RCMP in the Southeast District. Fire crews worked fast to extinguish each of the fires, before they could spread.
Series of fires near Salmo are potentially arson
