Investigators are also probing the fires at two mobile homes.The first happened on Friday morning at the Lakeway Home Park in Coldstream.
“Crews did a great job protecting the place next door, which did sustain some siding damage,” said fire investigator Keith Green. “The main structure, the main residence here on this unit is severely compromised and the home owners are obviously very upset.”Green said the fire started in a shed and jumped to the home.
It’s believed the homeowner had been using a portable heater while doing repairs to a hot tub but it’s still unclear if that contributed to the blaze.Deadly Calgary fires underscore importance of fire safety The third investigation that’s still underway is connected to a structure fire in the Okanagan Landing neighbourhood of Vernon on Saturday afternoon.That blaze also involved a mobile home, destroying it as well as an RV.
“I saw flames 20-feet tall. Very hot. It caught on fire so quickly it was amazing,” said neighbour Alisteir Waugh.
