“Sometimes they’re busy with car accidents, sometimes they’re busy with garbage can fires; it’s just coincidental,” he said.

Two of the fires last week happened in Prince Albert’s midtown neighbourhood. Ward Three Councilor Evert Botha encouraged residents to report suspicious vehicles or activity.

“I would encourage all residents to report abandoned or junk vehicles to the Prince Albert Police Service, who will have Bylaw attend. Removing these from our communities is part of maintaining cleaner, safer communities,” he said.
