Multiple units of the Langley Township fire department were called to a reported barn fire in the area of 13th Avenue and 260th Street around 2:40 p.m. on Wednesday, March 16.

Langley Township assistant fire chief Dale Steeple said crews arrived to find a shed fully involved.

They mounted a defensive attack to keep the blaze from spreading, and remained at the scene to mop up hot spots.

“It’s a total loss,” Steeple said.

There no reported injuries.
