An early Sunday morning fire in Saanich’s Gordon Head neighbourhood remains under investigation.
Brock Henson, assistant deputy fire chief of the Saanich Fire Department, said Sunday morning that an fire investigator was on the way to determine the cause of a fire in a duplex in the 4000 block of Magdelin Street on the other side of Feltham Road from Lambrick Park.
