PUSLINCH – No one was injured in a blaze on Gore Road in Puslinch on Sunday after a 100-year-old barn caught fire.
“The barn was a complete loss,” said Puslinch Fire Chief Jamie MacNeil.
The Puslinch fire department received a call at around 2:30pm on Sept. 14 and five trucks were dispatched to the scene.
The blaze was extinguished with the help of brews from the Hamilton, Cambridge and Guelph/Eramosa fire departments.
“It [the barn] was fully involved as we were responding,” said MacNeil.
“So there wasn’t much left of the barn by the time we got there; it had already collapsed.”
There were no animals or people in the barn, which contained straw and farming equipment.
Fire crews left the scene at around 9:30pm.
The cause of the fire is undetermined as an investigation would be impossible due to the extent of the damage, MacNeil said.
