Detective Inspector Handley said, “A multi-agency operation was involved in bringing the huge fire under control, which the Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service (NIFRS) declared a major incident.
“While the cause of the fire is under investigation, NIFRS believe the blaze may have been started deliberately.
“And we are now working to establish the circumstances.
“It is believed the fire may have started off the main walkway along the Bloody Bridge path, possibly late on Thursday night, 22 April 2021.
“We want to hear from anyone who was in the area, and who may have information which could help our investigation, to get in touch with us,” he continued.
