Airdrie RCMP are now looking at a structure fire as a possible arson.

Police were called to the 500 Apartment block of Towerlane Drive last night (July 26th) after several fires were reported in the building at around 11:20pm.

The residents were evacuated and police now believe those fires were set deliberately.

"A subsequent investigation has shown us that three individuals were seen leaving the north exit of the apartment block shortly before the fires occurred," says Cpl. Curtis Peters of the RCMP.

Police have no further information about the suspects or photos and are hoping anyone with information will come forward.
