The Sarnia Police Service along with the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal continues to investigate a house fire on Maria Street.
On Sunday December 20th, 2020 at approximately 7:20am, Sarnia Fire and Rescue along with Sarnia Police were dispatched to a structure fire at 227 Maria Street. A small portion of Maria Street just west of Mitton Street is blocked for traffic flow as the scene continues to be held for this investigation. The fire is being treated as suspicious and investigators believe it was set deliberately.
