A number of area fire departments respond to a blaze at a dairy barn in Sharon Thursday evening.

Sharon Fire and Rescue says firefighters responded just after 7:30 Thursday to a reported two-story barn fire at N1998 Peters Road.

Flames could be seen coming from the second story hay storage area. All of the animals were removed from the structure before firefighters arrived and moved to a neighboring farm.

First responders contained the fire within an hour and remained on scene an additional seven hours overhauling the barn and its contents.

One firefighter was transported to a local hospital for exhaustion. No other injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
