Wednesday was a stinky one for Colwood Fire Rescue.
Just before 4 p.m. the department responded to a fire in a garbage can near Ryder Hesjedal Way and Latoria Boulevard. One engine responded and the fire was quickly surpressed.
A little over an hour later, the department was called to a dumpster fire near Red Barn Market.
“It was outside of the building so there was no exposure to any large buildings,” said Assistant Fire Chief Greg Chow.
Three engines responded and the fire was extinguished within 15 minutes, Chow said.
Investigations into both fires are ongoing and a cause is not known at this time.
