Suspicious building fire being investigated

Codiac RCMP is asking for the public’s help in investigating a suspicious fire that destroyed three buildings in Moncton. On February 11, 2017, emergency crews responded to a fire in a vacant building on Park Street around 11:10 p.m. When they arrived, they found the building completely engulfed in flames. The fire spread due to the extreme heat, and also destroyed two neighbouring vacant buildings.

The cause of the fire is considered suspicious, and the investigation is continuing.
