Fire in a corn field prompted Ontario Provincial Police to close a section of Highway 401 Sunday near West Lorne and Graham Road where it meets County Road 76.
About three kilometres of corn stalks burned.
West Elgin fire chief Jeff McArthur said high winds contributed to the fire spreading to the south ditch on Highway 401 near Dunborough Road.
The West Elgin Fire Department had help from the OPP and the Dutton Dunwich Fire Department.
