The force says the fires all took place at abandoned homes in Prince County.
Emergency crews first responded to a fire at an abandoned home on Route 2 in New Annan at 2:30 p.m. on June 24.
Another fire was reported at the same location at 3 p.m. on Tuesday.
Emergency crews also responded to a fire at an abandoned home in Clermont, about five kilometres away from New Annan, at 9:15 a.m. Tuesday.
'Fires at abandoned homes are still a serious risk – fire has potential to harm people, destroy other property and it ties up first responders. If you have information about these fires, please call the Prince District RCMP' said Cpl. Gavin Moore, the P.E.I. RCMP's media relations officer.
