Fire crews battled some challenging conditions Saturday morning when they were called to a structure fire on Township Road 514 and Range Road 233.
The call came in at about 2:40 a.m.
When firefighters arrived, they found an abandoned lot with four structures. One was an abandoned house, Deputy Fire Chief Vern Elliot said.
The fire destroyed three of the buildings and wind pushed the flames into the surrounding bush.
