Firebug in Coldstream?

Updated: Oct 15

Is there a firebug in Coldstream? A Friday evening fire near the CN tracks behind the Rail Trail Cafe and Market on Kalamalka Road is reportedly under investigation.

The smoky blaze was contained to a pile of railroad ties stored next to the CN rail line.


911 call takers received multiple reports of flames and black smoke coming from around the CN train bridge just east of the Rail Trail Cafe on Kalamalka shortly after 7 PM Friday, July 12, 2024.

Lavington Fire Hall and RCMP were also on scene. CN Rail was notified.





Coldstream Fire Hall gained access to the fire by cutting through a chain-link fence on College Way. RCMP closed College Way for a short time.



Concerns have been raised by officials regarding a rash of unexplained fires in Coldstream. RCMP are investigating half a dozen such fires.



The investigation into Friday's fire has just begun, and no official cause has been released.
