Fourth fire in Ormstown prompts fear, plea for help

A pile of debris, that is all that's left on this pizzeria on Lambton Street. The fourth fire in this quaint stretch of town in recent months. Wow, good thing I was sitting on a chair. I said, no way, not again. Jeez, I'm scared, I'm scared to death. According to provincial police, firefighters were called to the restaurant at around 2.30 in the morning. Police say they found items on the scene that led them to believe the fire could have been deliberately set. Just a few doors down, this restaurant closed up after it was hit. But people say they were targeted again in their new location. A few steps further, Express 57 was also attacked in September. This follows another arson five years ago. We live in fear that we're always watching cameras. There's something we don't understand and we haven't been asked anything but there's a pattern. Provincial police say on November 4th they arrested a 27 year old man after an attempted arson at this very restaurant causing minor damage. Now police say it is too early to determine whether all the cases are linked but it is a theory they are investigating. It's enough. Rarely it's enough. Ormstown Mayor Philippe Besson says more needs to be done to stop this. I want help from the government of Quebec. I think that the Sûreté du Québec needs more resources, maybe more policemen. So far, nobody seems to know what could be driving the series of attacks. But one thing is for certain, people in Ormstown are scared.
