Early Sunday morning police and Kamloops Fire Rescue responded to a series of fires in the Sahali area.
On October 5, 2025, at approximately 4:40 a.m., Kamloops RCMP frontline officers attended to the 1300-block of Summit Drive where KFR reported that 4 fires had been set in less than 20 minutes. Just after 7:00 a.m. another call was received for fires in the Grandview Terrace and Columbia Street area.
On both accounts, frontline officers conducted patrols. With the assistance of a description from a witness police were able to locate a suspect from the second report. A man matching the description was subsequently arrested, however, there was insufficient evidence to advance charges, and he was later released without charge pending further investigation.
“Fortunately, there was no significant damage as a result of these fires,” said Corporal Dana Napier spokesperson for the Kamloops RCMP Detachment. “Police are investigating to determine whether or not these fires are related.”
Anyone with information about these fires are asked to please call the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 and cite files 2025-33257 and 2025-33264.
