SOUTH RAWDON:East Hants RCMP have deemed a camper fire in South Rawdon on Aug. 15 as not suspicious.

S/Sgt. Cory Bushell said that police were called to attend to a camper fire at a campsite in South Rawdon.

“Officers arrived to find the small trailer-type camper was unoccupied, but engulfed in flames,” said S/Sgt. Bushell.

He said a witness from a nearby campsite advised there were several power surges in the area over the weekend,

“On this particular morning, the witness was having difficulty brewing a cup of coffee due to the intermittent power and noticed smoke emanating from the burned camper shortly after the surges took place,” he said.
