Red Deer RCMP are investigating an arson fire at River Bend Golf and Recreation Area.

General Manager Rob MacPherson said an individual was caught on security cameras piling patio seat cushions against the wall facing north on the outside deck and lit them on fire at 12:45 a.m. last Wednesday.

“The building is still intact. Most of the damage was contained to the outside of the building but there was smoke damage to the inside,” MacPherson said.

He added, it was a random act and that the clubhouse is currently being cleaned up and should be operational later this week.
