Sask. RCMP investigate arson at Pinehouse landfill
Saskatchewan RCMP are investigating a suspected arson that destroyed an excavator in the Northern Village of Pinehouse. Officers in the village, located within sight of the Pisew fire that forced residents of La Ronge from their homes last week, were called to the Pinehouse landfill on Sunday, the RCMP said in a news release.
