A neighbour spotted flames coming from the outside of the house on Bancroft Road, south of Trafalgar Street just after 7:30 a.m. and called 911.

No one was home at the time and no injuries were reported.
Damage is estimated at $10,000.
Police have determined the fire was suspicious in nature and continue to investigate.
