Police in London, Ontario were called in for an investigation Monday morning after a fire broke out in an old vacant Dairy Queen in Wharncliffe Road South.
After 5 am, the fire brigade arrived at the "massive fire" at the site, said platoon deputy director Colin Shewell.

"The fire was quickly contained and extinguished," Shewell said. "At this point, we secure the building today, move forward so that we can take the next step with respect to the building, and work with the owner."

No injuries have been reported.
Shewell explained that the estimated damages have not yet been determined, as the building is vacant and therefore a "limited amount".

"The value of the dollar is definitely the lower limit," Shewell said. "But during the investigation, I realized that there were no utilities or sources of fire in the area."
This is one year that the fire brigade responded to the location of Dairy Queen in South London. It is the second time within.
On December 4, 2021, the fire brigade fought and extinguished the fire just north of Baseline Road.
Investigations are underway and police have determined that the fire is suspicious.
