Thankfully, with the quick actions, the fire didn’t spread inside the residence or to any of the apartments. All the apartments were searched. No one’s living in the building at this time and all was made safe. However, the cause of the fire was deemed suspicious,” Oshell told CTV News.
The multi-unit building had no occupants and was previously boarded up.
