BROOKINGS, S.D.–Several animals were killed in a barn fire east of Estelline on Thursday.
Fire departments from Estelline, Brookings, Aurora, Bruce, Volga, White and Toronto were called out at 11:00 a.m.
Whey they got there, they found the barn completely engulfed by flames.
Some horses and cattle escaped the barn, but authorities say five goats, a dozen chickens and ten cats died in the fire.
The barn was destroyed, with the loss estimated at nearly $50,000.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
