July 27, 2021 - 1:53 PM A series of suspicious fires are being investigated by the RCMP after investigators determined they may have been deliberately set. The Salmo RCMP and the Salmo Fire Department responded alongside one another to as many as four brush fires located northwest of the Highway 3 and Highway 6 intersection, July 24. Police believe that all four fires were human caused and have reason to believe that they may have been deliberately set. 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 B.C. RCMP in the Southeast District. Fire crews worked fast to extinguish each of the fires, before they could spread.
