At around 9:50 a.m. police and fire responded to the call about a large fire. Firefighters from the Delhi, Courtland, Langton, Fairground, Port Rowan, and St. Williams stations responded.

“The only good news out of this tragic situation is that there were absolutely no injuries,” Const. Ed Sanchuk said in a video on social media.
