A fire that caused $3 million in damage to a house is being investigated as arson.
“The cause of the fire is determined to be deliberately set,” said Maya Filipovic, spokesperson for fire rescue services, in a news release Monday. “Edmonton Police Service is investigating. Damage is estimated to be $3 million to all affected properties.”
In the early morning hours of Nov. 15, Edmonton Fire Rescue Services was called to a fire at a house under construction on Windermere Drive, Filipovic said. The fire was brought under control within 30 minutes, and contained to the one house, although several neighbouring houses sustained heat damage to their exteriors, she said.
