Another fire in the Central Saanich area occurred late Thursday night, this one resulting in two firefighters getting injured.
Three Saanich Peninsula fire departments were called to the 6300-block of Central Saanich Road at around 10:30 p.m. for the blaze that engulfed an agricultural outbuilding.
This is the third fire that has occurred in the Central Saanich area over the past month.
When firefighters arrived on scene, the property owner was able to confirm that no one was inside the building at the time of the fire.
The blaze took around two hours to fully extinguish, and two of the firefighters were treated at the scene by B.C. Emergency Health Services for minor injuries.
Though it was deemed a large fire, crews were able to save the majority of the structure with their efforts.
The fire has not been deemed suspicious at this time, and is not believed to be connected to the other two recent fires.
Another late-night fire occurred on April 14th in Brentwood Bay at Brewskys Taphouse – it was also said not to be suspicious, had no injuries, and caused minimal damage to the building.
On March 22nd, another structure fire took place at a residential property in the 2700-block of Skyline Crescent – there were also no injuries, but there was significant damage done to the home.
