Mar 7, 2019 | 9:30 AM

KAMLOOPS — Police have confirmed a fire at the Tournament Inn in Valleyview last night was likely caused by a person.

Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says officers responded to the motel at 8:45 p.m. on March 6 for a fire that appeared to have started outside the building on the northeast end of the hotel.

Shelkie says exhibits were seized at what appears to be the origin point of the fire, and the exhibits have been sent for analysis.

No one was hurt in the fire, but Shelkie says three units in the hotel were damaged.
