CALEDONIA, Wis. — The Caledonia Fire Department and several other agencies battled a large barn fire on 6 Mile Rd. Saturday evening.
Flames shot from the structure located on the inside of a bend on 6 Mile Rd. near Howell Rd.
The full extent of the damage was not yet clear, as fire crews worked to put out the last embers Sunday.
Saturday's massive flames left behind a tough loss for the property's owners and their tenants, many of whom had been storing things like RVs and classic cars on the farm.
Caledonia Fire Department said the items inside the buildings made it harder for crews to get a hose line through.
They also said the nearest fire hydrant is nearly two miles from the property.
Two buildings were destroyed but firefighters managed to protect a third building and cool a 420 lb propane tank on the property to stop it from exploding.
Officials said no one was hurt in the fire. The cause is under investigation.
