The Smyrna Fire Department also responded and released this statement, “We would like to take this time to thank all of the mutual aid departments that came to help with our barn fire [Friday] night.

“Without your help, there’s no way we could’ve done it. Our sincerest thanks go to the Sherburne, Earlville, Plymouth, North Norwich, and Georgetown Fire Departments for all of your help. Luckily no animals were lost in the fire.

“Thank you also to our members for their hard work this weekend. Some of them have donated nearly 20 hours of service to this community this weekend.”

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
