(PERTH EAST, ON) - The Perth County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) along with emergency services responded to a structure fire in the Township of Perth East.

On March 7, 2026 just before 5:00 am members of the Perth County OPP, along with Perth County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Perth East Fire Department, responded to a reported structure fire on Wilmot Easthope Rd in the Town of Gads Hill.

The structure contained 140 livestock, all of which are deceased. No one was injured as a result of the fire.

Fire crews successfully contained and extinguished the fire, with the assistance of an eager Perth County OPP member. The Office of the Fire Marshall was engaged and deemed the fire to be non-suspicious.

Wilmot Easthope Rd between Perth Line 45 and Perth Line 43 was temporarily closed while emergency services responded, but has since been reopened.
