A house fire in Kitchener is under investigation and considered suspicious, according to Waterloo Regional Police. Emergency crews responded to the blaze around 6 a.m. at a home on Major Street, where the fire was contained to a rear addition but caused approximately $500,000 in damage.
No injuries were reported, though firefighters searched the property thoroughly after concerns someone may have been inside. Multiple residents reportedly live in the home, and police were seen interviewing them along with the property owner.
