Hedge fire sparked next to Vernon senior’s complex

Significant blaze sparked Monday morning, firefighters quick to extinguish

Residents of a senior living complex are on high alert since a fire lit their hedges ablaze Monday.

Firefighters and RCMP were called to the Spruce Landing fire around 12 p.m. April 29.

Flames and smoke could be seen coming from a significant section of the hedge next to 25th Avenue.

But crews were quick to douse the blaze.

This is not the first time a fire has been sparked in the hedges, which separate the complex from the walking path and benches which are frequented by drug users.
