It was set on purpose. That is the conclusion of RCMP on the cause of a fire over the weekend at the former Kingsclear facility.
Fire crews were called to what used to be the Adult Reformatory yesterday afternoon close to four to find flames and smoke coming from the building.
In early November, a fire destroyed a wing of an old dormitory building at the reformatory.
The reformatory gained national attention several years ago after a history of child sexual abuse unfolded.
The building is owned by the Province and has been vacant for close to twenty years.
