The RCMP have been called in to assist in the Vernon fire department's investigation of the weekend blaze at Fatheads Coffee shop on 15th Street in East Hill. ``We've had some new evidence introduced into the case that we weren't aware of,'' explains deputy fire chief Lawrie Skolrood. ``It's elevated it to a suspicious fire now.'' Skolrood refuses to provide details but says a number of sources have come forward. He still has no damage estimate. The department stated earlier this week that the fire had been caused by an electrical fault. ``There is a considerable amount of damage and that still hasn't been ruled out,'' says Skolrood, adding, ``there is some evidence that really suggests some other possibilities and that's now under investigation.''
