One day after we heard that there were intentions to finish some of the unfinished homes on the reclamation site in Caledonia, trouble has found its way back to the disputed territory. A fire was set in one of the homes, allegedly by someone who was staying in the home, after they were asked to leave so that the house could be worked on. The person that was staying there said that they had been staying there from the start and that it was their home. They also said that they would set it on fire if they were forced to leave.
Three people from the site had to be treated for smoke inhalation after they attempted to put the blaze out themselves. Minimal damage was done to the building and the person that is alleged to have set the blaze fled the scene.
Police were not allowed on the property so it’s not known whether or not anyone was apprehended. Six Nations firefighters were allowed on the property to extinguish the fire.
