Authorities in Norfolk County are not sure why an unoccupied garage in Nixon burned down Thursday, but foul play has been ruled out.
Firefighters and police headed to the hamlet northwest of Simcoe around 2:15 p.m. after reports of a garage fire on Nixon Road near Windham Road 12.
No one was home and the garage was unoccupied, the fire department said in a media release. There were no reported injuries to residents or firefighters.
The garage was destroyed, and the flames damaged several food trucks parked nearby.
The total reported damage is around $100,000. The property owner was insured, the fire department said.
“The cause of this fire could not be determined due to the extent of damage but is not considered suspicious,” fire prevention officer Cory Armstrong-Smith said in the release.
Norfolk County Ontario Provincial Police have released the fire scene to the homeowner.
