This was not unexpected by me considering the location close to the former Bolender Landfill. However the facts are not aligning with that theory. The first fire was even further away from the landfill, was in a garage and had some routine combustibles stored there. The most recent fire while I believe as yet the cause is undetermined nevertheless was suggested to have started in the kitchen of the home built in 1909. No one was home at the time (thank goodness) and there is no suggestion of carelessness etc.
My major concern with the former Bolender Landfill is the Flip Flop behaviour yet again of Woolwich staff and allegedly technical people. Their consultants have also been all over the block over the decades of their writing reports about the methane filled landfill. One report and they have dangerous levels of methane to the north, reports later to the east, several years later to the west. Similarly their consultants have advised offering free methane meters/alarms for residents on High and George St. Then they don't. Also as I recall Woolwich had made it clear in various reports that as long as no new construction within so many metres of the landfill property line then everyone was safe. So then what do they do but they issue a building permit literally right up to the property line of the former landfill.
No need to worry though. Just because provincial legislation says that is illegal Woolwich are masters of manipulating theirs and other rules to bend to their wishes. I'm sure they will be happy to talk in circles to anyone who questions their God-like, cat-like, Ford & Trump-like skillsets.
