Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire and Rescue says a vehicle fire just east of Champion Park Road and Highway 3B Monday evening is considered suspicious.
They received the call shortly before 7 p.m., arrived about 15 minutes later, and had things under control in less than half an hour.
The fire department says the vehicle was a complete loss but there were no injuries. From the photos it appears to be a subcompact car.
RCMP investigated the fire’s origin. They say a man and woman were seen carrying gas cans while walking eastbound on Highway 3B shortly after the fire.
Police are asking anyone with information about this incident to call them.
Last month firefighters also responded to a suspicious truck fire in Montrose.
