DARTMOUTH — Investigators are working to determine what caused a fire to start overnight at Prince Arthur Junior High School in Dartmouth.
The Halifax Regional School Board recently sold the property to the province.
The building is currently under renovations and is no longer being used by students, because it is a construction zone, firefighters say they had some difficulties fighting the blaze.
