A 33-year-old remains in custody after being arrested for being suspected of sparking fires in town Monday night. 

Police received several reports from the public that a person was setting fires on a property in the 2600 block of 27th Street around 8 p.m. Aug. 19. Officers quickly headed to the area, where they located and arrested the suspect without incident.

No significant property damage was reported. 

"It91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s really concerning to see this happening," said Const. Chris Terleski, media relations officer for the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP. "It91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s reckless. These fires have potential to suddenly get out of control and can have disastrous consequences. Fortunately, that wasn91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™t the case thanks to the quick action of the witnesses who spotted what was happening and immediately reported it."

The man is expected to make his initial court appearance Tuesday, Aug. 20.
