Structure fire in the Pinewood area of the city called suspicious

The North Bay Fire Department says today’s fire on Tilley Street in the Pinewood Area has been deemed as suspicious.

Deputy Chief Greg Saunders says upon arrival firefighters were faced with a fully involved fire in a large shed which was located very close to the home and this caused significant fire damage to the home in addition to the shed.

He says crews were able to protect the home from further damage and very quickly extinguish the fire.

There was nobody home at the time.

There were no injuries and no word on a cause as of yet.
