Firefighters arrived to find a shed on fire with many pieces of farming equipment and a large fuel tank inside. Officials said intense flames and multiple explosions made extinguishing the blaze difficult, but no other buildings or property were affected.

Property owners said tractors, trailers, generators, wagons and other farm equipment were destroyed. Officials said the building was a complete loss.
