London police are investigating after one person had to be taken to hospital after what appears to have been an intentionally set fire.
Emergency crews were called to a home on Blackmaple Drive around 3:30 a.m. Thursday.
"An individual in the home extinguished the fire prior to emergency crews attending," police said in a media release. "A second individual was removed from the residence and transported to hospital by paramedic services with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries."
Investigators determined the fire was suspicious in nature. Damage is pegged at $5,000.
