Another Fire At St. Jacob's Farmers' Market

Waterloo region fire firefighters are still on the scene of a fire at a secondary building at the St. Jacob's Farmers market.

Firefighters rushed to the scene at 878 Weber St. N at about 1:30pm Thursday afternoon, during a busy market day.

Elmira, Conestoga and Breslau departments were called in to assist.

Smoke was rising from the Peddlers building.

Woolwich fire officials say the fire was caused by a propane torch being used by a roofing crew.

Fire destroyed the main building at St. Jacob's farmers market in 2013, with the cause of that blaze still unclear.
