Barn fire

On Saturday, June 5, at approximately 4 p.m., the Monticello Fire De­partment was called to a structure fire on S. Main Street/Business High­way 151 South at a live­stock operation owned by Steve, Phil, and Tom Lambert. When the MFD arrived on scene, multiple structures/ barns were on fire with various exposure risks. Firefighters spent sev­eral hours battling the fire in extreme heat. Unfortunately, there was some loss of livestock. Thanks to Jeff and Randy Shady, the remaining livestock were freed from the pens and removed from the property. Assisting at the scene were Monticello Ambulance Service, Ana­mosa and Cascade Fire Departments, Monticello Police, and Jones County Sheriff’s Department. (Photo submitted)
