Colwood Fire Rescue had a busy Sunday afternoon, responding simultaneously to a small fire at Royal Roads University and a motorcycle crash at the nearby intersection of Sooke Road and Mount View Avenue.

The smoldering fire, reported shortly after 4 p.m. was roughly four feet by seven feet and located near a small paved road, but it took firefighters about an hour to locate it.

B次元官网网址淲hen the smoke lingers in the air itB次元官网网址檚 kind of hard to pinpoint exactly where it is,B次元官网网址� said Assistant Chief Greg Chow. B次元官网网址淚t was located in some deep brush.B次元官网网址�

The fire was extinguished quickly once it was located.

ItB次元官网网址檚 suspected that it was human-caused but the investigation is ongoing.

Chow couldnB次元官网网址檛 confirm accounts that there was a pile of garbage and clothes in the area, but did say there was a report of someone potentially living in the area. That information has been passed along to campus security.

A representative from Royal Roads wasnB次元官网网址檛 immediately available for comment.

Meanwhile, a motorcyclist sustained non-life threatening injuries following a 4:30 p.m. crash. The crash didnB次元官网网址檛 involve any other vehicles or individuals and the man was taken to Victoria General Hospital. ItB次元官网网址檚 unknown what caused the crash at this time.

Double and even triple-headers arenB次元官网网址檛 rare in Colwood, but Chow confirmed that they can be challenging during the summer when the number of calls spike and more crew members take vacation.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 just getting busier and busier and we urge people to pay attention, especially when driving,B次元官网网址� Chow said.
