A 21-year-old man has been taken to hospital after an early morning fire destroyed a Haldimand County business.

Emergency crews were called to a commercial vehicle service centre on Main St. West around 9 a.m. on Feb. 13.

Firefighters managed to extinguish the fire which had fully engulfed the structure.

Several residents in the area were evacuated from their homes due to the heavy smoke.
