A Clearview Township firefighter is in hospital after suffering a mild heart attack while fighting a barn fire last weekend.
Fire crews were called to the scene of the fire, just north of Creemore, on Sunday afternoon.
The fire started accidentally when a generator was being filled with fuel.
With the help of crews from Springwater, Wasaga Beach and Mulmur, Clearview Fire Department got the fire under control by 5 p.m. but crews were on scene for about 24 hours to keep hot spots under control. Fire Chief Colin Shewell said hay was smoking into the night.
The value of the fire has been estimated to be about $260,000 and two pigs were killed in the blaze.
The firefighter who suffered a heart attack was under observation by paramedics, who were monitoring firefighters on scene and is being evaluated at hospital this week. He is now in stable condition.
There were no other injuries.
