Police Probing Two More Overnight Fires

London police are investigating two more overnight fires, one at a school playground and the other at a former group home.

The first call came in just before 11:30pm last night. Investigators say there was a small fire near the playground at Rick Hansen Public School in the White Oaks area.

The fire was quickly put out and there was no damage.

Despite a string of four fires at different school playgrounds in the last month, police are unsure if this is arson or related to those incidents.

Then, just a half an hour later police were called to a vacant group home at 52 Argyle St. Investigators say a fire started in the car port and spread. They believe that fire to be arson and crews will be on scene investigating today.
