No one was inside as the Dauphin Fire Department was on the scene of a structure fire on Monday night that is considered suspicious in nature.
Just before 6:30 p.m., the department were called out to the fire on the 100 block of 5th Avenue SE.
Upon arrival, crews entered the home but were forced to leave due to rapidly deteriorating smoke conditions. They began to extinguish the visible fire from the exterior. Crews were eventually able to re-enter the building and no one was found to be in the home at the time of the fire.
Crews remained on the scene for roughly three hours to ensure the fire was completely extinguished and to conduct their investigation. It was deemed suspicious in nature. If you have any information regarding the fire, please contact the RCMP at 622-5050.
