14-year-olds charged with arson after massive building fire

More than 70 residents had to leave their condominium building as a fire tore through an abandoned property next door in Milton, Ontario. In CTV News reporter John Musselman's account, the disruption lasted into the early hours, with one resident helping neighbors get home and soot coating parked cars.

Halton Regional Police have charged three teenagers with break and enter and arson. A police spokesperson says their identities are protected by law. The charges are accusations, not findings of guilt.

CTV's short report drew about 173,000 views in its first nine hours, far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts. The report combines footage of firefighters battling the blaze with Musselman standing outside the burned ruins and an account from a neighboring resident.

"No one was injured. The scene is still sealed off," Musselman reports. He also says residents had previously complained that the abandoned building was not properly secured.
