ORANGE CITY, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a barn in northern Iowa was completely destroyed by a fire on Christmas.
The Sioux County Sheriff’s Office says fire officials responded to the barn near rural Orange City around 3 p.m. Wednesday. They saw heavy smoke coming from the structure, and it quickly became engulfed in flames.
No injuries were reported, but the barn and its contents are considered a total loss.
Authorities say they believe a heat lamp inside the barn caused the fire.
