Barn Fire on Fuller Drive Contained; No Injuries Reported

White County Fire Services responded Saturday afternoon, March 14, to a reported structure fire in the Fuller Drive area near Cleveland.

According to officials, crews were dispatched shortly after 12:00 p.m. after a caller reported a barn on fire behind Mossy Creek Baptist Church off Highway 254.

Upon arrival, firefighters found the barn fully engulfed in flames, with a nearby vehicle also burning and a brush fire beginning to spread into the surrounding area.

Firefighters quickly began suppression efforts while working to protect nearby structures. An adjacent barn, a residence, and a tractor were located close to the fire, prompting crews to prioritize exposure protection as they brought the main blaze under control.
