Halton Regional Police say they are looking to speak to the driver of a vehicle seen in the area of a Georgetown house fire that left a couple dead.

Investigators said they are searching for the driver of a white, newer model mid-sized SUV that was seen in the area of Orchid Avenue, Robison Road and Danby Road in Georgetown between 4:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. on Feb. 17.

“The vehicle may have driven past responding emergency vehicles while in the area,” police said in a release Friday.

Emergency crews were called to a home on Hidden Lake Trail on Feb. 17 just after 5:35 a.m. for reports of a fire.
