A barn in Richlandtown was destroyed in a fire Saturday afternoon along the 100 block of South Main Street.
Crews were dispatched to the scene at 3:11 p.m. on Jan. 27 for a report of a building fire. Arriving personnel encountered a barn that was fully engulfed in flames, and two witnesses at the scene reported hearing explosions from inside of the barn.
Reports from area residents indicate smoke from the fire was visible as far as Souderton.
Firefighters placed the blaze under control approximately one hour after arrival, but not before the barn and two vehicles inside were destroyed. No injuries were reported.
Richlandtown Fire Company was assisted at the scene by units from Haycock, Quakertown, Trumbaursville, Springtown, Milford, Riegelsville, Perkasie, Dublin, and Tylersport fire companies, as well as other area first response units.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
