Fire Destroys Fond du Lac County Barn

At around 12:15 PM Friday, May 12, 2023, the Fond du Lac County Communication Center received a call of a barn on fire at N1367 Maple Road, about a mile south east of Campbellsport.

As units arrived they observed the barn to be engulfed in flames.

A call for mutual aid went out to multiple departments from Fond du Lac, Washington and Dodge County but the barn was completely destroyed.

The 60 foot by 50 foot barn which contained hay and an attached 20 foot by 50 foot feeding area which contained bedding are a complete loss.

It is believed that a tractor that was moving hay in the barn sparked the hay and the fire spread throughout. The fire is not considered suspicious. There were no animals injured in the fire as they were all outside at the time of the fire.
