Clearview Township’s Fire Chief says he is working with OPP following a third suspicious fire.
Roree Payment says the three fires, over the last couple of weeks, have similarities and he believes they could be the work of a serial arsonist.
Payment says the similarities are the time of day, geographical location and means of ignition.
He says the first one was a a straw bale fire on 27/28 Sideroad, then an abandoned house on Mowat Street and last night (Monday) was a straw bale fire on Fairgrounds Road North.
