Montgomery County firefighters are investigating what sparked a barn fire on Sunday afternoon on Stringtown Road in Clarksburg.

Fire and Rescue spokesperson Pete Piringer said over 60 firefighters responded to the blaze. He said the windy weather made the response challenging, and the fire extended to some adjacent brush. There were some road closures in the area during the firefight.

According to Piringer, the barn is a total loss. He said damages are estimated at $10,000. There were no injuries. Piringer said crews would remain at the scene on fire watch overnight.
