A quick response time from White County and Cleveland firefighters prevented a Saturday afternoon barn fire from spreading to nearby buildings.
The fire was first reported around 12 p.m., and saw both White County Fire Service and Cleveland Fire dispatched to the scene near Hwy. 115 East.
"Fire personnel’s swift response resulted in containing the blaze and prevented it from spreading to a nearby chicken house," said White County Public Information Officer Bryce Barrett. "Within minutes of the initial call, fire personnel achieved knockdown and continued to extinguish hotspots."
Due to extensive damage cause by the fire, the barn itself was declared a total loss.
No injuries were reported.
