RCMP in Nunavut are treating a Baker Lake, Nunavut house fire as arson.

Police were called to the fire around around 6:45 p.m. on Sept. 30, at 4025 4th Crescent, according to a news release RCMP issued Saturday.

The initial investigation has determined that the fire was set deliberately, according to an RCMP news release.
