这个学区一直在Ottawa地区名列前茅, 怎么纵火犯盯上了?

An Ottawa family set to move into their new home Saturday have to find shelter after a fire destroyed the home.
Ottawa fire investigators are still on the scene of a morning fire in Stittsville at a brand new home near the corner of Overland Drive and Kimpton Drive.
The fire was called in around 6:20 a.m. when a construction worker saw smoke billowing from the home. Crews arrived to find a two-storey home at 721 Eagle Crest Heights with smoke and fire shooting from the structure.
CITY HALL MEETING
Ottawa Police Chief Vern White said police will step up neighbourhood patrols but does not want residents organizing a watch on their own because he needs trained people doing that.
Ottawa Fire Chief John deHooge also suggested new home developers hire security guards to work on site.
The fire was extinguished quickly but there was heavy smoke damage throughout the home, fire officials said.
One firefighter fell through the burnt out floor but was not hurt. He did suffer minor smoke inhalation.
The family who owns the home refused to speak to CBC News because they said they were too distraught. Neighbours did mention the family was set to move in within the next two weeks and the final safety inspection was conducted Thursday.
Arsons piling up in west Ottawa neighbourhood
Police confirmed Friday evening it was the fourth fire in the Jackson Trails neighbourhood this month and second on the brand new street called Eagle Crest Heights.
The sudden spark in arson caused Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson to call an impromptu meeting at city hall for noon Friday with fire officials, police, bylaw officers and area Coun. Shad Qadri. The meeting dealt with both arson and vandalism issues.
On September 6, a home at 719 Eagle Crest Heights was deemed a write-off by fire officials and later called arson by Ottawa police investigators.

A fire also damaged a home at Lot 6 of Loreka Court three days earlier only a couple of kilometres away. That was deemed arson, as well.
In both those cases, a family was set to move into the home two weeks from the date of the fire.
Police also said Friday there was another fire earlier in the summer.
This latest fire happened at a home next door to 719 Eagle Crest Heights where a foundation is the only remnant of the structure that has been demolished.
Damage in Friday's blaze is estimated at $200,000. The cause is still under investigation and there are no injuries reported.
The Ontario Fire Marshal is set to arrive at the scene around 3 p.m. and Ottawa police arson investigators were set to arrive in the early afternoon.
Residents in fear, on watch
CBC Ottawa's Ashley Burke reported residents and family members were in tears as they assessed the damage from outside. Many other families who are also set to move on to the road were consoling the family, which said it was about to take possession of the home October 4.
"I've been in Stittsville 20 years and I've never seen anything like this," said Danny Gariepy, who will soon move in five doors down from the latest fire.
"The sense of community right now, that's what we feel's being attacked and robbed."
One local resident also tweeted her anger at possible arsonists as neighbours said fear has started to spread in the community.
"To the arsonist(s) burning down homes in Jackson Trails, you will be caught and BEWARE we will be watching," said a woman with the account NatalieJRoy.
The fire is being treated as suspicious and is under investigation with the help of the Ottawa police arson unit.
