An Elgin County business owner is scrambling following an overnight blaze, just two days before Christmas.
Central Elgin fire crews were called just after 1 a.m. Monday morning to Winter Wheat, located on Quaker Road.
There, an early-morning fire resulted in roughly $400,000 in damages, according to Fire Chief Chris McDonough.
According to McDonough, fire crews dismantled the building and did an overhaul. The blaze, he adds, is not considered suspicious, and no injuries were reported.
