A mower may have sparked a grass fire in the centre meridian on Highway One, near the 248 overpass.

Calls came in about the fire around 12:15 p.m. Township fire trucks are currently on scene.

At first, it was believed to be around 10 feet wide.

It’s unclear how the fire is impacting traffic but emergency crews ask for people to drive cautiously.
