Residents who had only recently moved into a Campbell River home fled an intentionally set fire this week.
RCMP say its the third such fire over the past year.
Residents were woken early Monday by a large bang, followed by smoke alarms.
One of them was able to douse a fire by the front door with a hose.
Police say it was clearly a targeted arson, but that the new residents were not the intended victims.
