Provincial Police are investigating a pair of back-to-back fires in Wellington County.
Police say crews were called to a structure on 3 Line in Erin just after 8 a.m. Sunday when smoke was spotted billowing from its roof.
About 45 minutes later, crews responded to an abandoned building down the road on Wellington Road 125, which was fully engulfed in flames.
OPP say both structures were believed to be empty, and there are no damage values at this time.
The Ontario Fire Marshall has been called in as both incidents are being treated as suspicious.
This comes after 20 suspicious fires have occurred in the County of Wellington since September of 2016.
Anyone with information is asked to contact OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
