Around 10:25 a.m., Selwyn Township firefighters, along with Peterborough County OPP and the Peterborough Police Service, were called to a plaza on Lakefield Road after a business owner reported a fire in the rear of the building.

Selwyn Township fire prevention officer Andrew Boyer said crews arrived to find heavy smoke coming from an external storage building for one of the units in the plaza.

He said smoke was coming from the eaves and overhead garage door. Crews breached the door and quickly knocked down the fire inside.

Contents inside were heavily damaged by the heat and smoke, Boyer said. A damage estimate has yet to be determined.

Boyer says the cause of the fire remains under investigation as of late Monday afternoon.
