An overnight fire destroyed a barn in Marathon County.

Sheriff's deputies say the blaze was reported at 4:30 a.m. Wednesday by a passerby.

It was engulfed in flames when crews got to the scene. An eyewitness tells NewsChannel 7 the flames could be seen 1/4 mile away.

The structure and a few items inside the garage on Hwy. Z are a loss.

The resident's cars were parked outside and they managed to save guinea hens kept in pens next to the garage.

No one was injured.

There's no word on a cause.

Happy Birthday!
