Cass County, IN – Fire crews from across Cass County battled a large barn fire in the northern part of the county Wednesday evening, according to the Cass County Emergency Management Agency (EMA).
The blaze drew multiple volunteer departments, including Harrison Township–Lucerne, Cass County Fire District 1, Twelve Mile, and Logansport Professional Firefighters Local 470. Crews worked into the night to contain the flames and prevent them from spreading to adjacent cornfields.
According to officials, EMA provided drone support to help responders monitor fire spread and assess the structure’s collapse from above. “Having this resource available improves situational awareness and responder safety,” the agency noted in a statement.
The drone footage, shared by EMA, shows heavy smoke and extensive damage to the barn, which appeared to be fully destroyed. No injuries have been reported at this time.
Additional on-scene assistance was provided by the Cass County Traffic Control Unit and the Cass County Highway Department. Officials credited a grant from The Andersons, Inc. for providing the drone used in the operation.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined, and an investigation is underway.
