Overview

• Dispatchers received a call just after 4:30–4:40 a.m. for a barn fire in the 8000 block of Thompson Sharpsville Road near the state line.
• Firefighters from Brookfield, Burghill, Fowler, Orwell and Sharpsville responded from both Ohio and Pennsylvania.
• The first arriving firefighter reported the structure was fully involved, and crews prioritized protecting nearby buildings.
• Tankers hauled water to the scene because the barn was set back from the road and no hydrants were available.
• Dispatchers warned of possible shotgun shells inside the building, and no injuries have been reported.
