The blaze was reported just before 2 a.m. in the 43300 block of Spinks Ferry Road. Crews from Lucketts, Leesburg, Lovettsville, Lansdowne, Ashburn, and Frederick County, arrived to find a 40-by-40-foot pole barn fully engulfed in flames, Loudoun County Fire and Rescue officials said.

Flames had already spread to an adjacent wooded area, forcing crews to launch an aggressive exterior attack on both the structure and the wildfire. 

The bulk of the fire was quickly extinguished, though firefighters continued to work through the morning to put out hidden hotspots and perform salvage and overhaul operations.

No injuries were reported.

The Loudoun County Fire Marshal’s Office remains on scene investigating the cause of the fire and determining damage estimates.
