Overview

• Police opened an investigation into two recent fires on Spiegeldijk that officials said looked unusual.
• A former mill, long vacant and slated for demolition, caught fire Sunday afternoon and was beyond saving.
• Fire crews chose a controlled burn after a high-reach vehicle became stuck in a marshy berm and access was limited.
• By about 18:05 the regional authority reported the fire was nearly out and odour complaints had eased, allowing residents to reopen windows.
• No injuries were reported in either incident, and the causes remain unknown following a separate roof fire at a nearby demolition property the day before.
