Firefighters and other first-responders are on the scene of an early morning structure fire on Highway 12 near Dunn's Line. Highway 12 is closed in both directions.

An early-morning structure fire has shut down a portion of Highway 12 near Coldwater.

Orillia OPP say both north and south lanes of the highway are closed and traffic is being re-routed at Medonte Sideroad 2 and Mt. St. Louis Road East.

It appears the fire started in the garage and 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.

"There are no injuries that have been reported," she said. "It's still an ongoing investigation." 

She said "the road is going to remain closed for an unknown amount of time" as a result of the fire and investigation.
