Mounties are investigating a suspicious fire that razed a camp in Prince William Parish early Tuesday, and it’s hoping members of the public will come forward with tips on the blaze.
The Keswick detachment of the RCMP issued a news release Wednesday morning about a destructive fire that’s the subject of a possible probe for criminality.
