An early morning structure fire that shut down a portion of Highway 12 near Coldwater today has been extinguished.
Orillia OPP say both north and south lanes of the highway were closed for several hours, but reopened at about 1:45 p.m.
It appears the fire started in the garage.
There were no injuries reported.
Brooklyn Harper, media relations co-ordinator for OPP's Central Region, said all occupants were out of the building when the fire started.
The investigation is ongoing.
Oro-Medonte Deputy Fire Chief Roree Payment said firefighters found a "heavy fire" on arrival.
Despite a "great initial attack by first-in crew," the fire had a "hold of the structure."
Payment said fire tankers from Severn Township helped Oro-Medonte firefighters at the scene.
