Fire in Belleville deliberately set

A small fire behind a Dundas Street east business in Belleville was deliberately set.

Senior Fire Prevention Officer Dave McMullen says there wasn’t much damage from the fire inside a steel building at the rear of  Shoppers Drug Mart last evening. However, there is evidence arson is the cause.

McMullen says other fires have been set inside the building, and action may be taken against the owner to make it more secure.

Also, no one was hurt when a small fire broke out in an apartment above the City Hotel on Front Street at 3-20 this morning. The cause is still undetermined.
