Sunshine Coast RCMP are investigating a suspicious fire in Gibsons.
RCMP were called to Hough Road in Gibsons around 3 a.m. on Monday, June 5, after the Gibsons Volunteer Fire Department responded to a structure fire. The fire completely gutted the building; fortunately no one was injured.
RCMP say they were called after evidence was found indicating that the fire may have been intentionally set.
Officers from the Sunshine Coast RCMP’s serious crimes unit – including a trained arson investigator – were on the scene Monday and investigating the cause of the fire, said Const. Harrison Mohr with Sunshine Coast RCMP.
“We’re still in the early stages of the investigation so we have limited details to release, but we are asking anyone who may have seen or heard anything in the area during the night to get in touch with us,” Mohr said.
Anyone with information about this fire can contact Sunshine Coast RCMP at 604-885-2266 or Crimestoppers.
