Regional Police say the fire marshal has determined that a weekend blaze that destroyed a New Waterford house is suspicious.

The New Waterford Volunteer Fire Department got the call to the vacant company house at 3454 Baker Street at around 3:30 on Saturday morning.

The building has been torn down and an excavator was at the scene yesterday clearing away the remaining debris.

Police say anyone with information on the blaze can call their dispatch line or Crime Stoppers.

Meanwhile, another vacant New Waterford home was heavily damaged in a Sunday morning fire.

Firefighters got the call to 758 Dominion Street at around 7:00.

They say the fire started in the basement and the house suffered heavy smoke damage.

There’s no word on the cause of the blaze.
