(Ryan McLeod/CBC)RCMP in Prince Edward Island are investigating three suspicious fires that happened in the Miscouche area of Prince County over the past four days.Cpl. Gavin Moore, the RCMP’s media relations officer, said the most recent fire happened Tuesday at around 10:20 p.m. when the Miscouche Fire Department and RCMP were called to a cabin fire in a wooded area of the community, just west of Summerside.That incident followed two other fires on Sunday. The first was reported around 2:37 a.m., when emergency crews responded to a fire involving some tires along Route 122.Just over an hour later, crews were called to another fire, this time an abandoned house along Route 2 that was already engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived. Moore said no one was injured in any of the incidents, but both structures were destroyed.“There was no particular danger to individuals. But this does tie up fire officials. It does tie up emergency services when there could be a call right around the corner where those resources will be needed,” Moore told CBC News.“In Prince Edward Island, over history, there’s no shortage of abandoned homes that have caught fire. And with that, it is a regular reminder that Islanders should be vigilant, and if you have a property that could fit with this, to make sure to keep your eyes out for anything suspicious and report anything to police.”Anyone with information about the fires is asked to contact Prince District RCMP at 902-436-9300 or reach Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.With files from Connor Lamont
