Police have issued an arrest warrant for Justin Matthew Sampson

34 year old Justin Matthew Sampson of Sydney Mines, and formerly Bras d`Or, is wanted on an arson charge.  Police were called to a 6 unit apartment building on Barrington Street in Sydney Mines last October because of a fire in one of the apartments.  The Fire Marshall deemed it suspicious and called police.

Anyone with information on Sampson`s whereabouts is asked to call the Cape Breton Regional Police or Crimestoppers.

Sydney is getting a new fire truck worth $1.3 million.

The aerial truck will be housed at the main fire station in Sydney while the current aerial truck will move to North Sydney.

The Thanksgiving Day flood damaged the North Sydney aerial truck which was in Sydney for repairs.  A ladder truck from Halifax has been on loan here, but they need it back.
