Fire destroys century-old barn in Bethel Twp.

When the first fire departments arrived on scene, the barn, located at 1729 Liberty Road, was fully engulfed in flames.

The barn and its contents were a total loss, said Bethel Twp. Fire Chief Jim Snyder.

Crews were able to stop the fire from spreading to the house, except some cosmetic damage to the siding of the house, Snyder said.

No damage estimate has been determined; the insurance adjustor is still working to determine the age of some of the equipment that was in the barn, said Bethel Twp. Fire Marshal Keith Hawkins.

There were no injuries reported in the fire, the cause of which remains under investigation.
