A fire that burned two power poles near Verigin Memorial Park in Brilliant on Monday evening remains under investigation.
Robson fire chief Jeff Grant said they were called at about 8:30 p.m. and discovered the two poles ablaze off Terrace Road.
They had the poles de-energized and quickly got the fire under control, but it burned about 200 square meters.
Grant said there was no lightning in the area at the time that they are aware of, but they have not eliminated it as a possible cause.
Firefighters from Castlegar, Ootischenia, and Pass Creek also responded. They were on scene for about three hours.
