Yesterday evening just after 6 p.m., fire crews from Liberty, Dearing, Coffeyville, South Coffeyville, Cherryvale, Mound Valley, Tyro and Independence Rural Fire responded to 5355 County Road 3200 to a report of a structure fire. A barn was reported on fire, and a down power line complicated the firefighting efforts. Twin Valley arrived and was able to turn off the electricity. According to the Dearing Fire Department, the fire was isolated to the barn and was kept from spreading to other structures. No one was injured in the incident.  The cause of the fire is under investigation.
