A fire burned through a barn in the Town of Utica late Thursday night.

Multiple fire agencies were called to battle the fire. They arrived to see it fully engulfed.

"When we got here it was already down to the barn floor," said Tim Oliver, Fire Chief for the Utica Fire Department. "There was no hay in it, it was fed with air," he added.

Fortunately no one was injured. Neighbors were able to get nearly 60 cows out of the barn and to safety.

Only the foundation remained by the time crews were able to extinguish it. The cause remains under investigation.
