Happy Valley-Goose Bay RCMP investigates four fires suspected to be arson

The RCMP in Happy Valley-Goose Bay is investigating four structure fires that occurred overnight.

Shortly after 11:45 p.m. police were called to assist firefighters in controlling a structure on fire on a residential property on Palliser Crescent. The building was completely lost to the flames, including the contents.

At approximately 3:10 a.m., a second fire, on Cabot Street, was reported to RCMP. A residence was found to be engulfed in flames.

The third fire in five hours, at an abandoned building near the Northmart on Hamilton River Road, was reported to police just after 5:00 a.m. Police arrived at the scene of another structure engulfed in flames.

At approximately 6:00 a.m. this morning, police responded to a fourth structure fire. An office building was found burning when police responded.

There were no injuries as a result of these fires, as all four structures were uninhabited at the time of the fires.

Evidence suggests that these fires were intentionally set.

Police are asking residents to review any available video surveillance footage in the areas of Palliser Crescent and Oliver Drive, Cabot Street, Hamilton River Road and Corte Real Road, overnight last night for any suspicious activity or information that could be related to the investigation.
