A Wednesday morning fire destroyed a barn on Shepardsville Highway in Jackson County.

“Most of it had burned to the ground, but crews made a real good quick knockdown on it,” Conn said. “There was no people or animals injured. Everyone got to go home safe.”

Conn said a cause of the blaze remains under investigation.

“From what we could determine, it looked like it may have started from a power outlet that was hooked to a generator,” Conn said.

The Nameless, Flynn’s Lick, and Central Fire Departments responded to the fire. Conn said crews remained on scene for about two hours.
