So it turns out the place was a former grow up owned by someone else, was renovated and cleaned up to be resold as a normal house...and then some other dudes moved in an made it into a grow op AGAIN???
Russell McDougall, 33, admitted to eight counts of arson by negligence and one charge of production of a controlled substance on Wednesday.
A marijuana grow operation in a rented basement sparked the blaze on Dec. 5, 2009, and quickly spread to neighbouring homes on Citadel Forest Place N.W., investigators concluded.

Police allege that McDougall unsuccessfully tried to rescue his two dogs, and then fled the scene without calling 911, or alerting his sleeping neighbours.
What a scum bag. Glad he plead guilty...but unfortunately he'll probably get a favourable sentence because of it.
