Firefighters quickly snuffed out a suspicious blaze at an Abbotsford home early Tuesday morning.
Crews were called to a reported fire on Kildare Terrace, just south of King Road, around 3 a.m.
They arrived to find the back porch area of the house engulfed in flames, but were able to knock down the fire and control it.
A strong smell of gasoline was reported at the back of the house, and police and Abbotsford Fire Rescue Services are conducting a joint investigation.
