Arsonist Hits Paris Model Home

Thursday, 25 April 2013 at 10:55

A model home burned down in Paris this week, and it has been ruled an arson. Just before 5:30 Tuesday morning police and fire were dispatched to Willow St. in Paris where a model home was completely engulfed in flames. The fire was put out, but the home was devastated by the blaze. Damage is said to be north of $300,000. The Ontario Fire Marshall attended the scene, and determined it was intentionally set. Police are asking if anyone was travelling on Willow St. between 3 and 5:30AM Tuesday, and saw anything, to contact Brant County OPP.
