Shelly Bay Road remains closed following the large building fire that broke out early Wednesday morning.
Police are continuing the scene examination today.
At this time the cause of the fire cannot be determined due to the damage the building suffered. It is being treated as suspicious because the building was unoccupied at the time the fire broke out, and power was not connected.
We continue to ask the public to avoid the area.
