Mount Forest fire chief Dave Guilbault said one, and
possibly two, horses escaped.
One man was taken to hospital for treatment for smoke
inhalation.
No cause has yet been determined.
The situation is similar at Classy Lane Stables in
Puslinch Township, near Cambridge, where 48 race horses died in a Jan. 4 fire.
The preliminary report from investigators indicates they have so far been
unable to determine the cause of that fire that destroyed one of the barns at
the large horse training and boarding facility.
Among the race horses that died there was one that had
won more than $1 million.
