Fire crews and police were called to Bell Lane in downtown Kitchener Monday afternoon after a fire started in a dumpster.

The dumpster was located next to the north wall of a building on Water Street which houses a MoneyMart and a recently closed convenience store.

A 47-year-old Kitchener man has been charged in relation to the incident, said the Waterloo Regional Police Service.

Once the fire was out, crews worked to dismantle a partially-melted MoneyMart sign as well as metal siding on the roof of the building.

Damage to the building is estimated at $15,000, according to police.
