Do the police in Quesnel respond to fires?

"On March 10th police executed a warrant on the home"

Today is the tenth.

So did they notice the grow op then get a warrant?

If so, then they trespassed and this charge will be tossed.

Is the magic number 1700 pot plants. How many busts have there been with 1700 pot plants.

The Lavington Road is not in a fire protection area (it is about 50 km west of Quesnel), therefore the Police is the only emergency services that would respond to 911 fire call to investigate.

It says the fire was Tuesday, and then today they got the warrant.

And there is nothing wrong with the way they got the warrant.
