It could have been much worse for Summerland Secondary with what appears to be a deliberately set fire at one of the school’s doorways.
Jeremey Piesinger notice the burned wall on Sunday when he was out for a walk with his dog. Black burn marks went into the ceiling as well.
With no caution tape around the area, it appears he may be the first one to notice.
“Summerland Secondary School looks lucky to be standing,” posted Piesinger to a Summerland Facebook group.
He called the RCMP shortly after to file a report.
There does appear to be water on the ground like someone tried to put out the fire.
A pair of men’s pajamas, a can and a piece of cardboard also appear near the fire. It’s not known exactly when the fire occurred.
Police and fire have not commented on the blaze yet.
