No injuries have been reported after a huge fire at an apple orchard in Durham Region on Sunday.

The fire broke out at Algoma Orchards Gourmet Market in Clarington, Ont.

“Our beloved Algoma Orchards experienced a loss early this morning,” a post on the business’ Facebook page read.

“However, the facility is safe and the damage was contained to the backyard. Our sincerest thanks to all the emergency responders, firefighters, police and ambulance, who worked tirelessly to contain the blaze.”

It’s unclear what sparked the fire.

Images from the scene showed a huge plume of smoke over the facility during the blaze.
