COURTENAY, B.C- A weekend house fire in Courtenay isn’t suspicious.
That’s according to the Comox Valley RCMP, who were called in to assist with the investigation.
Fire crews had been called to 2179 Morello Place just after 1:30pm on Saturday afternoon.
Upon arriving on scene they witnessed flames coming from the roof of the building.
