Overnight Barn Fire Destroys Structure in Jeromesville, Damages Nearby Buildings
Jeromesville, OH – Firefighters responded to a overnight blaze that engulfed a two-story barn in the village of Jeromesville early Wednesday morning.
According to Jeromesville Fire Department Chief Todd Elliott, crews were dispatched to 61 East Main Street at approximately 2:07 a.m. Upon arrival, firefighters found the barn fully involved. While mutual aid was initially requested, it was later canceled, though the Hayesville Fire Department assisted on scene.
Chief Elliott also confirmed that the State Fire Marshal’s Office arrived at the site later in the morning, a standard procedure following a structure fire.
While no injuries were reported, the fire caused additional damage to two nearby structures, melting their siding due to the intense heat. The barn itself was deemed a total loss.
Authorities have not yet determined the cause of the fire, and an investigation is ongoing.
