Officials are investigating a fire that broke Thursday evening at a family farm and event venue in Molalla, Oregon.
Fire crews responded to a rapidly escalating fire at the Coleman Ranch, located at 15151 S. Feyrer Park Rd., after receiving reports of a hay barn filling with smoke.
Officials with the Molalla Fire District say conditions quickly deteriorated when they arrived at the barn just before 7 p.m. Thursday. A fourth-alarm fire — meaning a severe emergency that requires a huge deployment of resources — broke out within a few minutes.
While there were no injuries of civilians reported, three firefighters were transported to a nearby hospital where they were evaluated for minor injuries.
Crews remained on scene for several hours to contain and prevent the fire from spreading. The scene was later turned over to Coleman Ranch for continued monitoring, according to officials. The barn appears to be a total loss.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
