Humboldt RCMP and Humboldt Fire are investigating a structure fire suspected to be arson.

On Sept. 17, around 7:30 a.m., crews were called to an abandoned farmyard just south of Carmel at the junction of Highway 5 and the Carmel grid west of Humboldt.

A large, multi-level grain bin caught fire and became fully engulfed. As a result of the blaze, the barn and four grain bins were lost.

Nobody was injured in the fire.
