Police are treating a fire at an outdoor farmhouse in Donemana, County Tyrone, as arson.

Emergency services were called to the scene of the fire at three derelict buildings on Longland Road at about 05:20 BST on Tuesday.

The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) said it included the farmhouse and a two-storey barn.

A police spokeswoman said colleagues at the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) believed the fire “was as a result of deliberate ignition and so the incident is being treated as arson”.

There are no reports of injuries, and firefighters remained at the scene on Tuesday morning.

Anyone with information is being asked to contact police.

Diversions that had been put in place in the area have now been lifted, and roads are open as normal.
