A barn has been destroyed by fire in the Boyd area of northern Jefferson County.
Jefferson Fire officials say the barn on the Steven Vonburg property in the 6600 block of East Palmer was already fully engulfed upon their arrival.
The 40 by 60 foot building and all the contents were destroyed, including a tractor, mower, tools and a trailer.
The cause of the fire has not been determined. The State Fire Marshals office has been called to investigate.
Jefferson Fire received mutual aid on the scene from Mt. Vernon City, Woodlawn, Kell, and Centralia Fire Protection District. Bluford and Waltonville Firemen stood by at the Jefferson Fire Station in the event of another fire.
