A Fond du Lac County barn is a total loss following a Monday afternoon fire. The Sheriff’s Office and Alto Fire Department were dispatched to a residence on HWY 49 shortly after 1:20 p.m. for a fully engulfed barn fire. Upon arrival crews found the fire had spread to the barn from a nearby brush pile that had been smoldering. While the barn is a total loss, no animals or firefighters were injured during the fire. The Sheriff’s Office says the property is owned by Allen Ehlts of Waupun.
