Police in Vernon say the investigation into the fire that destroyed a downtown building and several businesses is ongoing, but that’s about all they are saying.
The fire levelled the Okanagan Eatery building on the corner of 30th Street and 29th Avenue in the early hours of July 4th, and took several hours to bring under control.
Vernon North Okanagan RCMP told Vernon Matters that, as of October 18, the investigation was ongoing, more than three months since the incident occurred.
The Mounties ask that anyone with information on the fire, including security camera or dashcam footage, contact the Vernon detachment at 250-545-7171.
