BREAKING NEWS THAT YOU FIRST SAW ON FIVE. A LARGE BARN FIRE, A BARN DESTROYED BY FLAMES ON THE METRO’S NORTHEAST SIDE. YEAH. BO SKY 5 AND KOCO AUDREY GOODSON ARE LIVE ON THAT SCENE RIGHT NOW. BRINGING YOU THIS BREAKING TEAM COVERAGE. WE BEGIN WITH SKY FIVE PILOT CHASE RUTLEDGE GIVING US A BIRD’S EYE VIEW. AND CHASE. WE’RE STILL SEEING SOME PRETTY HEAVY SMOKE OUT THERE. YEAH, HEAVY SMOKE AND FLAMES. NOW, EARLIER WE SAW A LOT MORE FLAMES, BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO GET A BIGGER TRUCK IN HERE. NOW, IF THEY HAD AN UNLIMITED WATER SUPPLY, THAT WOULD BE ONE THING. BUT THEY DON’T OUT IN THIS RURAL AREA, THEY’RE HAVING TO BRING A TANKER TRUCKS IN TO SUPPLY WATER TO THIS. BUT YOU CAN SEE THIS IS GOING TO BE A TOTAL LOSS. I KNOW AUDREY’S ON THE GROUND DOWN THERE. SHE MIGHT MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET MORE INFORMATION FROM AUTHORITIES DOWN THERE. AUDREY, WHAT ARE YOU HEARING? THAT’S RIGHT. I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TALK TO A FIRE CHIEF THAT’S BEEN HERE. I’M ACTUALLY JUST DOWN THE ROAD NOW. WE WERE KINDLY ASKED TO LEAVE THE SCENE, BUT WHILE I WAS THERE, CREWS TOLD ME THAT THIS CALL CAME OUT AROUND 515 THIS MORNING. AND THEY SAY THAT FLAMES AND SMOKE COULD BE SEEN FOR MILES AWAY FROM THIS. THEY TOLD ME THIS IS ACTUALLY A SHOP AREA AND AS CHASE SAID, YOU CAN SEE SOME SEVERAL VEHICLES THAT WERE INSIDE, BUT YOU COULD COULD SEE HEAVY FLAMES SHOOTING FROM THE ROOF FROM SKY FIVE. SO WE’RE GOING TO KEEP SHOWING YOU THAT VIEW. BUT FIREFIGHTERS HAVE BEEN OUT HERE WORKING HARD TO GET THIS FIRE OUT FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR NOW. THEY SAY IT APPEARS TO BE A VERY LARGE SHOP BUILDING AND THIS IS ON A FARM. AND LUCKILY THOSE CREWS TELL US NO FARM ANIMALS WERE INSIDE. THEY ALSO TELL US THAT NO PEOPLE WERE INSIDE. RIGHT NOW THEY’RE TRYING TO GET A LOOK AT WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE FIRE. BUT THEY DO TELL US THAT WATER SUPPLY WAS ALSO AN ISSUE. THEY HAD TO BRING IN LARGE TANKER TRUCKS OF WATER TO FIGHT THIS FIRE, AS THERE WERE NO HYDRANTS OUT THERE ON THAT FARM. WE’RE GOING TO KEEP YOU UPDATED AS WE LEARN MORE ON WHAT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED THIS FIRE. SO MAKE SURE
