Barn Fire in Dayton

DAYTON, MD - A barn, reportedly housing livestock, has caught fire and burned down.

At approximately 8:45 PM, firefighters were summoned to the 14000 block of Howard Road for a reported barn fire. Firefighters arrived to find a small barn well involved in fire and nearly on the ground.

As this area does not have fire hydrants, firefighters used tankers to bring water to the scene. Personnel used a cistern at Dayton Oaks Elementary School to fill the tankers.

No injuries were reported, and no damage estimate is available. The blaze was brought under control in approximately twenty minutes. Howard County fire investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire.
