Toronto police say a fire that erupted at an Islamic centre Thursday night is being investigated as an act of arson.
Emergency crews were notified of a fire on the roof of The Reign of Islamic Da’wah, an Islamic information centre at Weston Rd. and Humber Blvd. N., at around 11p.m.
Upon arrival, firefighters noticed the smell of burning plastic at the scene, said Toronto Fire District Stephen Powell.
The fire was put out quickly, said Powell.
Const. Victor Kwong said police are still investigating, but believe the fire was deliberately set.
No one was in the building at the time of the fire and no injuries were reported.
