Just last week, Hope Fire Department says it responded to three suspicious fires in a 24-hour span.

One call involved a rubbish fire at a home under construction near Yale and Rupert. Fire personnel were dispatched for a second call shortly thereafter for a fire in a carport in the 300 block of 3rd Avenue. Cameron said the resident was able to act quickly thereby stopping the fire’s progress.

As crews continued to mop up the first fire, firefighters were dispatched at around 1 a.m. for a report of a structure fire in the 600 block of Hazel Street. According to Cameron, the fire originated in the garage area and a second fire was discovered in a shed on the property, involving an all-terrain vehicle. Yale and District Volunteer Fire Department assisted with an engine response under mutual aid, Cameron said. The home suffered extensive damage; 12 firefighters remained at the scene until 7 a.m.

“All fires are being considered suspicious and remain under investigation by the RCMP,” Cameron said.
