A Vernon motel severely damaged in a fire in August 2024 has caught fire again.
Vernon Fire Rescue Services personnel are battling a blaze at the Blue Stream Motel, off 32nd Street, Wednesday morning, March 12.
It's believed the fire started on the ground floor. Firefighters were checking the top floor to make sure the blaze had been fully extinguished.
Vernon North Okanagan RCMP officers were scouring the area for potential suspects.
A neighbour of the motel called the fire in. The motel owner has been on-scene watching the fire crews in action.
Firefighters were at the Blue Stream on Aug. 27, 2024, after a fire broke out on the motel's second floor.
There were no injuries in that fire but the motel sustained heavy damage.
The motel opened for business in 1965.
