FIRE – Suspected arson at Brunner Avenue house being investigated

An early morning residential fire in Brocklehurst is being treated as an arson investigation.

Today (March 13, 2024) around 3 a.m., Kamloops RCMP were called to a house on the 1700-block of Brunner Avenue, where firefighters were already on the scene and smoke could be seen coming out of a window.
