Somewhere in the middle — and that's okay.

No injuries were reported.

Investigators believe the incident is linked to an arson and attempted arson on the same street earlier this month as well other suspicious activity in the area, including possible shots fired and a possible break and enter in August.

In this morning’s incident, a dark-coloured SUV was seen leaving the property after the fire was set.

Officers have increased their presence in the community, with both marked and unmarked police vehicles patrolling the neighbourhood.
