Firefighters from the Shakespeare and Sebringville stations responded and were on scene at Land and Ross Antiques early last evening. They were assisted by a Milverton crew because the arieal truck was needed.

The fire blocked Hwy. 7/8 at Road 107 for a time. Damage is in the hundreds of thousands but there were no reported injuries.

The cause has not been determined but it is not considered suspicious.
