Comox Valley RCMP have deemed the fire to Charlie’s Auto Wash and Obsessed Auto Detailing is not suspicious.
The fire happened around 6 a.m. on August 21, prompting Comox Valley RCMP and the Courtenay Fire Department to attend the scene.
The fire was brought under control by the Fire Department and prevented from reaching the nearby Value Village.
No injuries were reported from the fire, but one vehicle appeared to be damaged.
Investigators from the Integrated Forensic Identification Section and Comox Valley Major Crime Unit attended the scene and conducted a thorough investigation to find no evidence suggesting the fire was intentionally set.
RCMP thanked first responders for their quick responses to the incident and the public for their cooperation.
In a Facebook post, Obsessed Auto Detailing said they plan to push through and have begun looking for temporary location to get the business back up and running in a few weeks.
Charlie’s Auto Wash has yet to say when they plan to reopen.
