On June 24, 2024, at approximately 5:35 am, Chemawawin RCMP received a report of a structure fire at the nursing station in the community.
Officers attended the scene and found the building engulfed in flames. No injuries were reported.
As a result of the preliminary investigation, the cause of the fire was determined to be incendiary. RCMP have arrested a 20-year-old female for arson who remains in police custody.
Police say the nursing station was previously broken into last October when a TV and prescription meds were stolen. A vehicle parked outside was also taken. Four suspects were later arrested in The Pas.
Chemawawin Cree Nation is located west of Grand Rapids, Manitoba.
