Willow View Farm owner, Murray Siemens, said he was sitting in his house when the fire started. Siemens doesn’t know what caused it but thinks it could have been electrical.

He says although they lost their store and refrigeration unit, they will try to re-open in a few days.

Hull said the fire does not appear to be suspicious.
