A man has been charged in relation to a series of arsons in a Mission, B.C., park over the last two years.
The string of six deliberately-set fires in Fraser River Heritage Park began in July 2021 and the most recent happened on Jan. 6th of this year.
One fire, sparked in August 2021, grew to nearly a hectare and prompted an evacuation of nearby homes. B.C. Wildfire helicopters were called in to help extinguish it.
The B.C. Prosecution Service says Joseph Jean Kraakman is facing six counts of arson and scheduled to appear in Abbotsford Provincial Court on March 9th.
