VICTORIA --
A second suspicious fire in the Cowichan Valley area cancelled classes at an elementary school on Friday.
The fire was discovered near École Mount Prevost in Duncan around 7:10 a.m. by a neighbour of the school.
The flames were quickly extinguished by the North Cowichan Fire Department and Mounties.
The North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP and specialized fire investigators are now looking into the incident.
It's the second time this week that a suspicious fire closed a school in Duncan. On Monday, all classes at Drinkwater Elementary were cancelled for the day after a fire filled the building’s halls and classrooms with smoke.
