For Immediate Release
The Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake is providing an update regarding the ongoing investigation into the recent structure fire at 14795 Niagara River Parkway.
This remains an active investigation led by the Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM), with involvement from the Niagara Regional Police Service. The Town does not have control over the scene; however, Staff remains committed to keeping the community informed as information becomes available.
We understand how significant the property is to the community, and out of respect for the investigative process and those affected, we are sharing updates only as appropriate and in collaboration with the lead agencies.
Heavy equipment is now on-site, and the controlled removal of certain structural elements of the building has begun. This step is necessary to support both the investigation and ensure the safety of all personnel on scene.
The OFM continues to work closely with Fire Department Staff to ensure awareness and coordination as the investigation progresses.
Further updates will be provided as they become available.
