Man arrested by Sidney RCMP due to alleged arson at unfinished construction project
Mike Harman, deputy fire chief with Sidney Fire, says the call was received around 4:30 a.m. for a fire in the 9700-block of Third Street.
“Upon arrival, we had light smoke that was visible from the outside, and we had sprinkler activation,” Harman said. “Crews entered the structure, they did find the starting of a fire, but the sprinkler systems had kept the fire at bay and actually knocked it out, we didn’t have any visible flames by the time we got in there.”
Harman said the fire was in a residential building under construction, so there was no one living in the building at the time. There was not a lot of fire damage, according to Harman, but there is water damage and since the fire was on an upper floor there is damage to units underneath.Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news and daily digests sent to your email.
