Fire crews responding to a garage fire Wednesday in Enderby discovered that they actually had a "grass" fire on their hands. The fire, which broke out in the garage in the 200 block of Old Salmon Arm Road, was ignited by faulty electrical wiring that was being used to supply a grow-op housed in the structure, says RCMP spokesman Gordon Molendyk. The fire damaged the garage and destroyed most of the 100 or so marijuana plants that were under cultivation. A 29-year-old woman was taken into custody at the scene and is expected to face charges at a later date. A second person seen leaving the scene has not been located, Molendyk says.Police also obtained and executed a warrant on the adjoining house and found several bags of dried marijuana, Molendyk says.
