Hamilton police are investigating a suspicious fire in Lynden.
Const. Trevor McKenna with Hamilton Police said there were no occupants in the Governors Road home at the time of the fire. He said a passerby called in the fire at 4:42 a.m. on Wednesday.
The time the fire occurred and the fact that no one was home is why it is being considered suspicious, he said.
According to a social media post by police, Governors road was closed this morning between Lynden Road and Field Road due to the fire.
"We still have to do a proper investigation to determine the cause, but that is where it stands at the moment," McKenna wrote in an email.
He said Hamilton Fire are still on the scene.
More to come.
ROAD CLOSURE: Govenors Road is currently closed from Lynden road to Field road. Please adjust your morning commutes accordingly.
