RCMP investigates three new fires in BC's North Shuswap

RCMP North Shuswap fires suspicious blazes Squilax Anglemont Road BC wildfire risk

On August 7, 2026, firefighters in British Columbia’s North Shuswap responded to three spot‑sized grass fires along Squilax Anglemont Road, discovered near Copper Cove Road. The blazes followed a series of five suspicious spot fires reported on the evening of August 5.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and a fire investigator from the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) are investigating the incidents. Residents and passers‑by helped extinguish the fires with bottles and buckets of water, and the fire departments praised the quick community response.

CSRD officials urged residents to remain vigilant, report any suspicious activity to 911, and contact the Chase RCMP at 250‑679‑3221 with information or video footage. Ongoing community tactical patrols are planned to ensure public safety amid heightened fire risk and recent memory of the Bush Creek East wildfire.
