No personal injuries were reported and the cause is still unknown, damages from the fire are estimated to cost $400,000.
“If you know us well, you know how particular and meticulous about safety we are with all our animals. We had an electrician come out to make sure everything was safe before we even moved any animals onto the property. There was nothing plugged into the outlets in the barn at all last night,” read the statement.
