A huge fire on the Bruce Peninsula is not considered suspicious.
Last Friday, flames heavily damaged four businesses in Ferndale and five apartments upstairs.
Northern Bruce Peninsula fire chief Wilf Barnes says the blaze started in the dryer area of an apartment.
The exact cause is still under investigation.
Damage is well over $400,000 — but Barnes says insurance adjusters haven’t determined whether the building can be restored or will have to be demolished.
The fire involved the Foodmart, UPI gas bar, Chill Out and Huron Bay bulk fuel business.
Three children and seven adults living in the apartments upstairs were left homeless by the fire.
