Smoke billowed from the roof of Bateman Fine Cabinetry store in Oro-Medonte Township.

The smoke could be seen for miles, as dozens of firefighters worked on an active fire occurring simultaneously at several Highway 11 businesses early Wednesday night.

The fire at 2921 Highway 11 is also home to a Canada Post office, North Country Floors, the Schnitzel Haus, Simcoe Angler Bait Shop and the LiquiGator store.

Highway 11 northbound was not shut down, but Ontario Provincial Police were on standby if needed, said the public information advisor.

More information will be provided when it becomes available.
