First responders were called shortly after 10:15 p.m. on Thursday night to a home on Walton Road, when a passerby reported flames showing from a sheet metal barn in the area.

Crews were met by a large fire inside a barn located on the property, which was quickly knocked down by dozens of firefighters from the Huntingtown Volunteer Fire Department, though not before the blaze caused an estimated $225,000 in damage.

No injuries were reported.

The cause and origin of the fire remain under investigation.
