Whitehorse RCMP are working with other agencies to investigate a suspicious fire that occurred at a construction site last weekend in Porter Creek.

At 12:30 a.m. last Saturday, the RCMP and Whitehorse Fire Department were called to assist at a building on fire on Wann Road.

When it was extinguished, investigators found extensive property damage to the building.
