ST. GEORGE – The St. George Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 2162 East 2800 South in the Little Valley area Friday night.
St. George Fire Capt. Jason Whipple said the fire call came in at around 9 p.m. after what he described as a “three-sided storage barn” caught fire.
Despite the efforts of the responding fire crews, Whipple said the barn was a total loss and that estimated damage may be worth around $40,000. The official cause of the fire has yet to be determined.
Concerns were expressed for animals on the property, though none were harmed by the fire.
The fire was extinguished by 10:30 p.m.
