SUMNER COUNTY, Tenn. – Fire crews in Sumner County were called out to fight a barn fire on Friday.

A barn behind a house caught fire around 11:30 a.m. on Mutton Hollow Hill Road near Westmoreland.

Approximately four to five fire trucks were on the scene. The barn was seriously damaged. Firefighters were able to knock the flames down quickly.   The intense heat outside made for some extra challenges especially since firefighters were having to work around hot tin from the barn's roof.
