Grey County OPP say an early morning fire has completely destroyed a farmhouse in Meaford and closed Sideroad 6.
Police and three area fire departments responded to the scene around 3:30 a.m. but the 1.5-story farmhouse was already completely engulfed.
OPP say it remains unclear if there are any victims at this time as they have been unable to contact the elderly female resident of the home.
However, police said in a statement "if anyone were inside the home at the time of the fire, they would not have survived as the home was completely destroyed."
OPP and the Ontario Fire Marshal’s Office investigators are expected to remain at the scene for some time.
Sideroad 6 remains closed between the St. Vincent-Sydenham Townline and the 1st Concession until further notice.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
