Durham Police property warehouse destroyed by blaze

Durham Regional Police continued to investigate on Monday after a massive fire destroyed their property bureau warehouse.

Just after 6 p.m. Sunday, massive black smoke covered the skies and section of Hwy. 401 just east of Oshawa in Clarington as the blaze erupted.

On Monday, Clarington fire crews were still at it pouring water in through the collapsed roof of the warehouse with the use of a aerial ladder dousing hotspots. A ground crew could also be seen containing other areas inside the warehouse on Courtice Ct.

Sgt. Jo-Anne Bortoluss, of Durham Regional Police, said the office was closed at the time of Sunday’s fire with nobody in the adjoining office area.

“The main area that seemed to be on fire housed some of our vehicles. Some of our K-9 units, our R.I.D.E. truck and some other vehicles we had,” said Bortoluss.
