The 3,700-square-metre barn was largely engulfed in flames when crews arrived, according to Rob Clausen, assistant fire chief for the Township of Langley.
Clausen could not comment on the cause of the fire, which is still under investigation, but said that past mushroom barn fires in Langley have been accidental. "The way mushroom barns are constructed, there are multiple growing areas inside --- and lots of dividing walls." Firefighters worked to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby houses and outbuildings, Clausen said.
