A man has been charged with arson after a residence was destroyed by fire on the Port au Port Peninsula.
First responders were called to the fire on Main Street in Boswarlos around 4 a.m. Saturday morning.
When police arrived, they were met by a man who failed to properly identify himself. The 41-year-old was arrested at the scene and charged in connection with the blaze. He’s set to appear in court in September.
The home was unoccupied at the time, but was a total loss.
