The other was in a cedar hedge at a house a few doors down the street.

Police call the fires highly suspicious and suspect an accelerant was used in both blazes.

“We’re going to have a series of arson investigators attend and we’ll have a better idea of what we’re looking at,” says RCMP constable David Caley.

The fire chief estimates damages could reach almost $1 million.

No-one was injured and the homeowners, a retired couple, are insured.
