Val-David, Canada +Suspicious Fire Again in Hasidic Resort Area+

Val-David, Canada – Fire Department responded to another suspicious fire in the resort area north of Montreal that seemed to target the summer homes owned by the Hasidic community.

In June of 2007, Val-David Mayor Pierre Lapointe said he called in extra patrollers to look out for any unusual activity. "I think everybody agreed in the end, to enhance the police protection would be more than welcomed," he said.

That request came after several fires of suspicious origin, two of which destroyed summer homes owned by families belonging to the ultra-orthodox Jewish community. [Vin News]
