The damage estimate at TopLine Farms at 500 County Road 18 includes about $300,000 for the building and about $2 million potentially for the produce and materials inside, including boxes, he said.
“There was a considerable amount of smoke inside the structure so all the product has to be reviewed,” said Bradt.
The fire started Saturday night and the suspected cause announced Monday was a discarded cigarette butt. Bradt said the fire grew quickly because wooden pallets with plastic were stacked at the side of the building. There was a large column of black smoke from the blaze. He said there would be no charges.
