Trail Blazer Arrested in Mackenzie
Mackenzie, B.C.- A 20 year old male will appear in court today to face a charge of arson in relation to two deliberately set fires near the Mackenzie Leisure Centre.
RCMP in Mackenzie say two fires were set on the John Dahl Trail in the evening of Wednesday August 19th. Although spotted quickly, one fire had spread more than ten metres before it was fully extinguished by the Mackenzie Fire Service.
“These fires put the community and first responders at risk, and it is troubling that in the height of fire season, with wild fires burning across the province, someone would deliberately set a fire” says Mackenzie RCMP Corporal James Foyle.
Mackenzie RCMP continue to investigate two other deliberately set fires that happened on the 18th outside Mackenzie near Ganahatz
Anyone with information on any of these fires is asked to contact Mackenzie RCMP at 250-997-3288 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

What in the world is wrong with people? I don’t care how old you are, common sense tells you that fires are devastating – even my 10 yr old nows better… what kinda joy do you get from purposely setting fires?
I wonder if we will hear what happens to him? I hope he has to pay for all the expenses.
Are we allowed to tie him to a stake and light a fire under him?
Not to burn him to death, but just long enough so that people can see that this is what happens to arsons. Just enough so that each time he takes a step, he is reminded…..:-)
Unbelievable! Global reported yesterday that CO’s are writing out tickets daily in the Okanagan because some refuse to obey the fire ban.
These people have no respect for anything except themselves (and I am not too sure of that sometimes).
Hope they throw the book at em!

It’s an illness like voting conservative or liberal.
Firebug or Pyromaniac

This thinking man wonders if the bunch of fires we have had here might have a connection.
