UPDATE: May 31, 5:10p.m.
West 麻豆精选 Fire Rescue has said that the fire is deemed suspicious.
In a statement from Assistant Fire Chief Chad Gartrell,it was confirmed that the fire began in a trailer in the area of Talon Drive and Hawkes Boulevard. Wind played a role in spreading the fire to nearby vehicles, land, and a 鈥榥eighbouring structure鈥�.
鈥淒ue to the volume of materials on site and the legacy construction of the exposed structure, the fire was stubborn to extinguish,鈥� said Gartrell, who added that chainsaws were used to cut into the trailer鈥檚 roof to battle the flames.
In total, 17 members were on scene, hailing from the Westbank, Rose Valley, and Lakeview Heights firehalls.
The case has now been turned over to the RCMP.
