The blaze took place a short distance away from the remains of the century-old Oakhurst Inglehart House, which was de- stroyed by fire Sept. 27. While no official cause has been determined both fires are considered suspicious and both are under investigation by the OPP. "We are looking for tips and witnesses," said Sgt. Kerry Schmidt, OPP spokesper- son. "The proximity of these fires is caus- ing some alarm to us. It looks like this most recent fire was deliberately set and we may have some kind of serial arsonist setting these fires." A day before the blaze at the Oakhurst Inglehart House Oakville Deputy Fire Chief Brian Durdin said firefighters were called out to the property to put out a brush fire. On Oct. 9 the vacant John and Elizabeth Robinson Farmhouse on Fourth Line in Milton was destroyed in a suspicious fire. The OPP have not said whether this inci- dent is related to the Oakville fires. Anyone with information about the Bronte Provincial Park fires is asked to con- tact the OPP at 905-841-5777.
