Suspicious Fire At Credit Union Place
There was another suspicious fire last night in Dauphin.
Just before 8:00pm, the Dauphin Fire Department was called out to a fire at Credit Union Place.
Upon arrival, firefighters were met at the entrance by staff who indicated the fire was out but there was still heavy smoke in the lobby of the arena.
Crews ensured the fire was extinguished then worked with D-R-S staff to remove smoke from the affected area.
Fire Chief Cam Abrey says the damage was limited to a washroom on the main level of the facility.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Dauphin RCMP.

to recuse himself from its first major case.
The unit is investigating the death of 44-year-old Haki Sefa, who
was shot and killed by police after a confrontation on Highway 59 in
mid-September.
It turns out that Zane Tessler, the unit's civilian director, is
in a conflict of interest because when he was working as a Crown
attorney in 2011, he was involved in prosecuting Sefa.
The director of a similar unit in Nova Scotia will take over the
case.
National Farmers Union Denouncing TPP
The National Farmers Union is denouncing the Trans-Pacific
Partnership, saying it would severely damage Canada's supply managed
sectors such as dairy, chicken, turkey and eggs.
The NFU says the supposed gains for other agriculture sectors
such as beef, pork, grain and oilseeds is an illusion.
NFU president Jan Slomp says the government's promised
compensation to dairy producers for their losses will be borne by
the taxpayer.
Slomp also says statements made by New Zealand's dairy industry
and its trade minister indicate that the TPP may contain
additional concessions on dairy that will be phased in over time or
will be the subject of future rounds of TPP talks.
The deal must still be passed by all 12 nations' legislatures or
governing powers, with Canada being an interesting test ground for
the pact considering we're two weeks away from an election that
could change the power in Parliament.
NDP Leader Tom Mulcair says Harper had no mandate to negotiate
such a massive deal during the campaign, and vowed if New Democrats
form the next government, there is no guarantee it will be ratified.
Harper will be in Whitby, Ontario today, where he will reportedly
announce more than a billion dollars to help the auto sector weather
the changes the deal might bring to the industry.
At a town hall meeting in Toronto last night, Trudeau said it's
not right that a country like Canada currently has 93 different
communities under 133 boil-water advisories.
His comments came the same day the Shoal Lake 40 First Nation
said it's taking its own case to the UN.
The reserve straddling the Manitoba-Ontario border has been cut
off from the mainland for a century and has been under a boil-water
advisory for almost two decades.
A week of rainfall caused flash-flooding that has washed out
roads, collapsed bridges and caused two dams to burst near downtown
Columbia.
There's also no water to drink for some 40,000 people.
At least 10 people are dead in South Carolina and two died in
North Carolina.

Harper Defends TPP Deal
