A fire engulfed two barns on Seman Road in Naples early Sunday, destroying thousands of dollars in farm equipment, vehicles and other property, according to the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies were dispatched to the reported barn fire at about 1:26 a.m.
One barn was fully engulfed when deputies arrived, and firefighters were working to keep the nearby home from catching fire.
The flames eventually spread to a second barn parallel to the first, fully engulfing it as well.
The sheriff’s office identified the landowner as Andrew Sherwood, 69, of Naples, and the renters as Ronald Molinari, 44, and Amy Molinari, 57, also of Naples.
Naples Fire, Bristol Fire, Cheshire Fire, VA Fire, Honeoye Fire, Middlesex Fire, Atlanta Fire and Cohocton Fire responded.
Canandaigua EMS and Naples EMS also responded.
The investigation remains ongoing.
