A man is in custody following two fires in Camperville recently.

On May 21, at approximately 2:45 a.m., Winnipegosis RCMP responded to a report of a house fire on Spruce Bluff Road, in the community.

Upon arrival, officers found the home was fully engulfed with flames and the fire department was on scene attempting to extinguish the blaze.

There was no one inside the residence at the time and the cause of the fire is under investigation.

At approximately 3:50 a.m., the investigation led officers to check a residence on Gospel Bay, in Camperville.

When officers arrived they found the front porch on fire. The officers woke up the occupants of the home and assisted with extinguishing the fire.

No one was injured.

Officers identified a suspect in the second fire, and a 37-year-old man was arrested a short distance from the scene.

Matthew Flamand of Camperville was charged with one count of arson with disregard for human life. He was remanded in custody.

Winnipegosis RCMP, along with the Office of the Fire Commissioner, continue to investigate.
