Shellbrook RCMP are investigating a structure fire on Ahtahkakoop First Nation that occurred earlier this month as suspicious.

Police were called to a fire on April 17 at around 3:04 a.m. Upon arrival, officers found the Social Development Building completely engulfed in flames.

Community fire crews were on scene working to control the fire from spreading to nearby buildings. Firefighters from Saskatchewan Emergency Management and Fire Safety in Prince Albert were also called in to help battle the flames.

The building is being considered a total loss. No one was injured in the incident.
