One man was transported to a local hospital for observation after a barn fire Sunday night at W10284 Highway I, southwest of Reeseville.
Reeseville Assistant Fire Chief Ben Zechzer said in a press release that the Reeseville Fire Department was dispatched at 6:18 p.m. for a report of smoke and flames visible with animals, machinery and hay in the building.
Upon arrival, smoke was coming from the north side of a large dairy barn, Zechzer said in the release. Fire was found in an addition to the barn that housed a skidloader. The first crew in make a quick knockdown and additional crews helped with extensive overhaul to ensure the fire had not spread to the hayloft.
Fire crews remained on the scene for about two hours. Damage was contained to the addition and 30 hay bales in the loft area. No animals were injured.
“No fire personnel were injured, which is great considering the fire scene was a sheet of ice,” Zechzer said.
Reeseville was assisted by departments from Lowell Fire, Clyman, Hustisford, Watertown, Waterloo, Columbus and Marshall. Also assisting at the scene were Lifestar EMS, Dodge County Sheriff’s Office, Dodge County Emergency Response Team and Dodge County Highway Department.
