10/10/12 - Local firefighters battled a barn fire in Deerfield Township. The Hartland Deerfield Fire Authority was called out at around 11am Wednesday to a fire that started in a barn off Latson Road, estimated to be around 20 by 30 square feet in size. Fire Chief Adam Carroll tells WHMI the barn was located in the backyard of a residence and was fully involved and in the process of falling down when firefighters arrived. There were no injuries and Carroll says all damage was contained to the barn, which was considered a total loss and contained a 1955 car and a couple of tractors that were also destroyed. Carroll says the fire is not believed to be suspicious in nature and appears to be accidental but the cause remains under investigation. The Howell Area Fire Department assisted at the scene. (JM)
