Suspicions of Arson on Fulton Street

An early morning fire this week fortunately claimed no victims, but has popped up on the RCMP radar as suspicious in nature.

CFTK TV's website is reporting that the RCMP suspect arson in a fire on the 600 block of Fulton earlier this week.

Prince Rupert Fire and Rescue responded to a 4:30 am fire call on Wednesday morning, in which a home on Fulton had been set afire while people were inside.

The fire was put out before any serious damage could occur and none of the occupants were reported as injured during the incident.

Describing the fire as a targetted act, the RCMP is asking for anyone with details or information on the fire to contact the local detachment.

Local NewsR.C.M.P. believe someone deliberately tried to set fire to a home in Prince Rupert yesterday while people were inside.

Police say they were called to the home in the 600 block of Fulton Street around 4:30 in the morning yesterday.

Fortunately, the fire was put out before causing any damage.

But investigators say a deliberate attempt had been made to set fire outside the residence and police believe this was a targetted incident, not a random act.

They're asking anyone with information to call them.
