Fire At Former Orillia School Deemed Arson
Not the First Fire At This Location
Investigators are calling a fire at a former school in Orillia a case of arson.
Fire crews were called out with reports of a fire at the former Mount Slaven Public School on Westmount Drive just before 1:00 Friday morning, saying there was a significant fire in the gym of the former school.
The blaze caused about $1,000,000 in damage and caused enough turmoil that the structural integrity of the structure is in question.
This is not the first time fire crews were called to a blaze at this location; a similar incident was reported in June.
