Mar 9, 2018 | 4:00 PM

A fire inspector with Prince Albert’s fire department could not say if a pair of vehicle fires in the city’s midtown area Thursday, were suspicous in nature.

Quentin Roland told paNOW investigators would take a close look at both vehicles Friday afternoon.

 

The fire department was called to the 300-block of 8th St. E. at 5:50 p.m. Thursday. Upon arrival, crews found a car fully engulfed in flames, though the firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the vehicle. Then, just before 7 p.m., the department was alerted to a second vehicle fire in the 200-block of 13th St. E. This time, fire crews found a small fire that was extinguished by the owner. Fire crews sprayed some water on the area to ensure it was completely out.
