On April 7, at approximately 7 p.m., RCMP say a large wooden barn was burned on an uninhabited farm yard in the RM of Mount Hope.
Two days later, Mounties say another structure fire occurred on an uninhabited farm yard.
At approximately 11 a.m. Friday, an outbuilding and home were destroyed. Police say due to the high winds, the fire spread to surrounding fields. Fire crews worked several hours to control the blaze.
RCMP say all three fires are deemed suspicious and arson is suspected.
