Abbotsford police are investigating a suspicious fire that damaged a section of boardwalk in Mill Lake Park.
Emergency crews were called to the park just after 4 a.m., where they found a section of the boardwalk fully engulfed in flames.
Firefighters were able to douse the flames before they were able to spread to the rest of the park or nearby homes.
Police say the fire burned through a section of the boardwalk, rendering it unsafe for use.
Investigators believe the fire started shortly before 4 a.m., and are looking for any video footage shot in the area around that time.
