The two spot fires occurred at around 1:20 p.m. and 3 p.m. Wednesday, June 12, and Vernon North Okanagan RCMP said fire officials alerted police after responding to the second fire, as both were believed to be human-caused and suspicious.
“Despite the recent rain, it has been a relatively dry spring,” Corporal Tania Finn, media relations officer with the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP, said.
