Two goats were among the property lost in a barn fire in southern Wisconsin on Monday.
The blaze was reported by a resident to the Racine County Communications Center just after 10:30 a.m.
The Union Grove-Yorkville Fire Department and the Racine County Sheriff's Department responded to the scene. It was determined that the property owner had been burning brush in a burn pit where hot embers fell on the dry grass and spread to the barn by the wind.
No people were injured in the incident and firefighters were able to prevent the fire from spreading to a nearby home and other buildings on the property.
