Mounties say their investigation into the devastating fire that destroyed most of the village of Lytton, B.C., two years ago remains “active and ongoing.”

Staff Sgt. Kris Clark of the B.C. RCMP says officers don’t have a timeline for when their probe into possible criminality might be complete, and are mindful of other investigations around regulatory compliance and the cause of the fire.
