Barn Fire at Sunset Stables

We had just started wrapping up from the fire in Masoma when the tones dropped for a fully involved barn fire in Station 38 territory. We immediately activated West Metro for an engine and tanker crew as this is located in a more rural area.

Members of the West Metro Fire Protection District handled that fire while we took the lead on the barn.
