Investigators believe Abbotsford school fire suspicious

ABBOTSFORD (NEWS 1130) – A fire at the Abbotsford School of Integrated Arts North Poplar Campus Thursday afternoon is being treated as suspicious.

Calls came in around 4:30 p.m. that the front steps and part of a portable classroom were engulfed in flames, Sgt. Judy Bird with Abbotsford Police said.

Fire crews made quick work of the flames and contained the fire to a small area, which she said could have spread given dry conditions in the region.

“Well, usually school portables don’t combust. So the fact that there’s fire at the front of the school probably lends it to being suspicious,” Bird said.

Police are looking for anyone who may have seen what happened and are also looking for video from nearby businesses.

If you have any information, contact Abbotsford Police at 604-859-5225, text to 222973, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
