Arson Suspected in Natuashish

A Friday morning fire at the Mushuau Innu First Nation band council office in Natuashish, Labrador appears to be a case of arson, police say.

RCMP say the fire was likely intentionally set around 7:30 a.m.

An individual in the area put out the flames with an extinguisher from inside the building.

While the quick work prevented major damage, some damage was done to one of the building’s exterior walls.

The office will be closed for the remainder of the day.

RCMP officers arrived at the scene after the fire was out, and are investigating.
