EDMONTON – Investigators believe a fire was deliberately set at a store in Wetaskiwin over the weekend.
Police and firefighters were called to the Mega Pawn shop in Wetaskiwin, which was engulfed in flames when they arrived.
Emergency crews also discovered a device on a road that looked like a possible explosive. The RCMP explosive disposal unit examined the device and found it wasn’t an explosive.
Nobody was hurt in the fire, but the pawn shop was damaged and other buildings sustained smoke and fire damage.
In August, a suspicious fire damaged three travel trailers and one motor boat at the Parkview RV Centre.
