At around 1:00 Thursday afternoon, police and the St. John’s Regional Fire Department were called to a residential shed fire on Empire Avenue between Rennies Mill Road and Kings Bridge Road. Witnesses in the area saw a man running from the scene.

An hour later, there was another shed fire on Empire Avenue between Rennies Mill Road and Kings Bridge Road. Witnesses saw a man leaving the scene who matched the description of the person running from the previous fire scene.
