Fire Destroys Store at Eyking Farms

by Dave DesveauxJune 25, 2017

Regional Police say multiple fire departments responded to a blaze at Eyking Farms in Milleville early this morning.

The fire took place at around 2:30 and destroyed the store on the property.

No injuries have been reported.

Firefighters say it took about eight hours to put the fire out, and they add the task of fighting the blaze was made more difficult because the flames were well-contained in the tin building.

Police and the fire Marshall’s Office are investigating.
