Police investigating 4 suspicious fires in downtown St. John's
The RNC is investigating several brush fires they believe someone purposely set in downtown St. John's Tuesday night. Emergency crews responded to four fires between 10:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. NT, all close to each other on Lemarchant Road and New Gower Street, according to a news release sent by the RNC. The release said investigators believe one person set all four fires. The St. John's Regional Fire Department responded quickly, and the RNC says no one was injured and nothing was damaged. The entire province is under a fire ban, as firefighting crews from both Newfoundland and Labrador and elsewhere in Canada struggle to deal with multiple wildfires that have forced hundreds to flee their communities.
