A fire Sunday night destroyed a barn in the Eau Claire County town of Lincoln. The fire, at S6951 Morning Crest Drive just west of Fall Creek, was reported around 9:30 p.m. by property owner Jim Sadler. “Around 9:30 or so I looked out and saw an orange glow out there,” said Sadler, who immediately called 911 to report the blaze. The six beef cattle in the barn were on the opposite end of the barn from the fire when it started, so Sadler said he was able to open a frozen lock in time to let the animals out before they could be harmed. A neighboring family agreed to keep the cattle in their barn until the Sadlers decide how to proceed.
