Okotoks RCMP is looking for information about a fire they believe was caused by arson on June 3.

RCMP and the Fire Department were called to a fire inside a house at 165 Mcrae Street.

Neighbours noticed smoke coming from the basement of the building, and were able to combat some of the blaze with a garden hose until Fire Services arrived.

They say the home has been abandoned for nearly 10 years.

Only minor damage to the building was observed, no other buildings were affected and no one was reported injured.

This fire is believed to have been deliberately set.

Anyone who may have information about this crime is asked to call the Okotoks RCMP at 403-995-6400  or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
