The Ontario Provincial Police said three incidents took place overnight between Thursday and Friday -- one at a private residence on Sleepy Hollow Road and two other separate locations on Highway 26 in the Craigleith area.

Firefighters were able to extinguish all three fires before they spread, limiting the damage.
