Crews were able to get all the horses and sheep out of the barn; but sadly, all of the chickens and rabbits inside died.

Some of the animals in the barn were cared for by local students working on 4-H projects.

No injuries were reported to people.

Firefighters from Butler, Mercer and Lawrence counties rushed to the scene. They had to shuttle water from fill sites back to the barn.

The barn is considered a total loss.
