BOONE COUNTY, INDIANA
Over a dozen animals were killed in a Boone County barn fire
Friday morning.
The Sugar Creek Fire Department responded to the fire near
US 52 and N 675 W in Thorntown just before 2 a.m. The barn was fully engulfed
in flames when firefighters arrived, and Perry Township assisted crews by
helping to haul in water. The barn is completely destroyed.
The fire killed nearly all of the animals inside the barn
including seven horses, a few dogs and chickens, a goat, and a pig. One horse
survived the fire and was transported to Purdue for treatment.
