Toronto Fire Services (TFS) says a collision repair centre in North York has been set ablaze for the second time in a matter of days overnight Friday.
A spokesperson for the TFS told Global News that emergency services responded to a call about a fire at a tow yard at 335 Champagne Drive just after 2:30 a.m.
Toronto police said a trailer in the lot was set on fire, however, no injuries were reported.
On Tuesday, police and fire services were called to the same lot just before 5 a.m. after a fire broke out in the back of the collision centre.
Police said the centre is a type of body shop where damaged vehicles are towed to be repaired.
Stephan Powell, district chief for Toronto Fire Services, told Global News there were obvious signs of arson at the first scene.
On Friday, police said they are linking both incidents and that they are being deemed suspicious.
The investigation is ongoing.
