Seven local fire departments were called to Atlanta after a barn caught fire Sunday morning.
According to Jackson Township Fire Department, crews were called to the 2100 block of East 296th Street around 5 a.m. Sunday on reports of a barn fire.
Fire Chief Jeff Muszar said crews could see the fire from miles away and when they arrived to the scene, they found a large barn “fully engulfed” in flames. Sheep were inside the barn at the time of the fire.
The fire was contained to the barn; however, several sheep died as a result.
