On the morning of Saturday, May 3, the Courtenay Fire Department responded to a fire in the 200 block of Puntledge Road, the building that contains Yummies and Gyros Greek Cafe.
Fire crews arrived shortly before 8:15 a.m. to find a pile of debris burning next to the wooden staircase of a commercial building. The fire was quickly extinguished, and damage to the structure was minimal. Fire fighters caught it quickly as they spotted the smoke as they were on their way to the Courtenay Farmer鈥檚 Market.
The fire is believed to be human-caused and is considered suspicious. The Comox Valley RCMP attended the scene and are currently investigating.
