(KNSI) – Two Stearns County fire departments responded to a rural property in Eden Lake Township early Sunday.
According to a press release from the sheriff’s office, an outbuilding used to shelter livestock and store hay caught fire overnight. The smoke and flames were noticed just after 2:00, when the owner’s dog began to bark, waking him up.
Dennis Fink was able to save all of the animals inside. Eden Valley and Paynesville Fire Departments responded and quickly put out the blaze. The barn is considered a total loss. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
