GULL BAY -- The chief of the Gull Bay First Nation says he's concerned that for the second time this year, someone has set fire to a house in the community.
The most recent arson occurred last week and levelled an unoccupied dwelling that had recently undergone extensive renovations.
Wilfred King says the back door to the home had been kicked in and "someone had set the place ablaze."
King told Tbnewswatch the previous incident involved an older, abandoned house.
The arsons, he said, "Really cause me concern, because we have a volunteer fire department, and we view arson as very, very serious because people could obviously get hurt."
The other thing that's upsetting, King added, was the house destroyed last week "was still very much in livable condition....We had done extensive repairs to that unit."
He said the incident remains under investigation by police, and he hopes the culprits are identified and brought to justice.
