Police are investigating to determine the cause of a fire that spread to several units within a local motel.
On December 21, 2025, at 8:26 p.m., the Grand Forks RCMP received a request for assistance from the Grand Forks Fire Service for a structure fire at Johnny’s Motel located on Highway 3. It appears that a vehicle caught fire in the carport area of the motel before spreading to the structure and affecting several units. No one was injured in the fire.
“Police and fire investigators continue to work to confirm the cause of the fire,” said Staff Sergeant Kris Clark of the BC RCMP. ”Criminality has not been ruled out but there is also nothing to suggest it at this stage until a thorough inspection can be completed.”
Anyone with any information who has yet to speak with police is asked to contact the Grand Forks RCMP at 250-442-8288.
