At roughly 4:40 p.m. on Tuesday night, Bonnechere Valley Fire Chief Darryl Wagner says his crew was called out to a barn fire.
The fire, which took place at a property on Harry Dick Road, had grown quite large by the time firefighters arrived at the scene, Wagner explains.
Crews began working immediately to protect the house on the property, and Wagner says all the animals within the barns were safely evacuated.
According to Wagner, crews weren’t able to leave until around 3:30 Wednesday morning.
He adds that the cause of the fire is still under investigation, but that the fire isn’t currently considered suspicious in nature.
No people or animals were hurt, although some vehicles inside the barns were lost.
