Another suspicious fire early Sunday morning on June 16, 2019 in Alderville First Nation.

Alnwick/Haldimand Township Fire Department were called to 110 Megyaak Drive at approximately 1:22 a.m.

Northumberland OPP was responding to another call when they spotted the flames and notified the fire department.

One neighbour told Today’s Northumberland he spotted the blaze before fire crews arrived the abandoned home was completely engulfed in flames.

Fire crews from Alnwick/Haldimand and Hamilton Township could do little to save the structure.

The home has been abandoned for at least two years and there was no hydro to the residence.

Northumberland OPP are investigating and a OPP Forensic Identification Unit was called to the scene to look for any evidence.

With no power at the abandoned residence it’s believed the fire was set along with three other fires in the community of Roseneath.
