Firefighters are mopping up after a fire at a barn in New Dundee.

The fire itself happened at a property on Oxford-Waterloo Road near Puddicombe Road in Wilmot Township.

Fire crews got the call just after 5:00 a.m. Tuesday.

Wilmot Township District Fire Chief Brad Otterbein “We arrived on scene. It's a large pole barn that's 340 feet by 90 feet wide,” said Otterbein.

According to Otterbein, they needed to be extra cautious as there was an abundance of hay within the barn.

Damage is extensive according to fire crews.

Officials haven't said yet if any animals were harmed in the fire.
