RCMP have taken over the investigation into an early morning fire at a legal grow op near the Kelowna airport.
It happened on Old Vernon Road just after 6 a.m. on Monday, in a barn-like structure.
The fire scene is just two doors down from the Ellison Fire hall, but the winds made fighting the fire a bit of a challenge.
