Barn destroyed by fire in Yates County as ‘explosions’ reported at scene

A Yates County barn was destroyed by fire late-Monday as firefighters battled a blaze on Italy Valley Road.

They were called to the Italy-scene area around 11:30 p.m.

Several witnesses who called first responders said they heard explosions at the barn.

The Naples Fire Chief believed it may have been the sound of tires or gas canisters exploding inside, according to WHEC-TV.

Fire crews had to use water from a nearby pond to put out the flames and are working to find out what caused the fire.

No injuries were reported. The blaze remains under investigation.
