It’s been a rough couple of weeks for wheat field fires in midwestern Ontario. On July 23, a combine caught fire in the middle of a wheat field near Bayfield, Ont. setting off a blaze that spread across most of the farmer’s field.
Flames still flicker from an early morning blaze that claimed a trio of barns on a farm near Holmesville, Ont. on Wednesday. 14 cattle and nine chickens perished in the fire, and damages are estimated at between $2 million to $3 million.
