A suspicious fire in Conception Bay South, near St. John's, spoiled what was otherwise a quiet Guy Fawke's night on the Avalon Peninsula.

The local fire department responded, but wasn't able to save the structure.

Arson investigators have been called in to look for the cause, which police said is undetermined, but being treated as suspicious.
