An arson investigation is underway after a garage fire Wednesday night.
North Bay Fire and Emergency Services responded at 9 pm to the 100 block of Duke Street East with smoke and flames coming from a garage at the back of the property.
In a release, Deputy Chief Greg Saunders says multiple vehicles, welding equipment, and other hazards were in the garage with fire crews able to extinguish the fire quickly and safely.
“The quick actions of responding firefighters limited the damage to the structure,” he says. “An investigating officer from our fire prevention division determined the fire to have been deliberately set. North Bay Police Service was asked to attend and investigate as the fire had been determined to be arson.”
Saunders adds there were no injuries.
