Edmonton Fire Rescue officials said Monday that investigators had determined a blaze that destroyed a home under control was deliberately set.

Firefighters were called to the home on Windermere Drive on Wednesday, November 15 just before 2:30 a.m.

Crews arrived on the scene a short time later, and managed to get the blaze under construction within half an hour. The fire was contained to one home, although a number of other houses nearby sustained exterior damage.

On Monday, officials said the fire had been found to be deliberately set, and police are investigating.

Damage has been pegged at $3 million for all properties affected by the fire.
