A copy of that release is available here: https://www.haltonpolice.ca/en/news/suspicious-fire-in-burlington.aspx.As this is an active investigation, additional details may not yet be available to share. However, any further information Halton Police releases publicly will be shared on my platforms.News of these fires is quite disheartening and I share the deep concerns of community members and residents.
