A 5,760-square-foot hay storage structure at O’Connor’s Farms, 8807 County Road 98, Belle Center was destroyed in a fire Wednesday.
Richland Township Fire Chief Ron Smith said it appears a mower’s hot muffler ignited hay in the building around 11 a.m.
His department was assisted by firefighters from Russells Point, Huntsville, Ridgeway and Lakeview fire departments.
The firefighters kept the fire from spreading and enabled farm personnel to save as much equipment as possible.
