Crews from Arlington, Mt. Blanchard and elsewhere responded to a barn fire on Jackson Township Road 40, south of Findlay.

The fire started a little before 5 o’clock Wednesday night and sent thick, black smoke high into the sky that could be seen for miles.

The fire was about a mile east of U.S. 68.

The barn collapsed from the fire and is a total loss.

Crews prevented the fire from spreading to the nearby house.

No one was injured in the fire. No word on the cause of the fire.
