Firefighters from five fire stations aggressively battled a fully involved barn fire in Mount Forest early yesterday.
Fire Chief Dave Guilbault says the barn was destroyed with damages estimated at $400,000. but they managed to save nearby buildings. He says a small butcher shop had minor damage.
There were no injuries. The Fire Marshal was called to help confirm a cause.
Guilbault says the owner accidentally set charcoal from a kiln onto a wood pile, and sparked the blaze.
About 35 fire fighters from stations in Wellington North, Durham, Dundalk and West Grey were on the scene.
