SOUTH ROYALTON Vermont State Police are investigating a fire that started in the back of a South Royalton barn Friday afternoon, according to a release from the state police.
No injuries were reported in the fire, which was called in around 3:15 p.m. Friday by a person who saw flames at the back of the barn on 246 Pleasant St., the release said.
The Royalton Fire Department responded to the blaze and extinguished the flames quickly, limiting the damage to “one section of the exterior and a small section on the interior,” of the barn, the release said. The property, which is owned by Jon Tuller, sits on a little under an acre of land and has two buildings: the barn and a detached residence, according to property records.

Jessie loved both the mountains and the ocean, and such a person could not be contained by this earth. She left us all too soon, and she had so much more to live for.
Jessie was the second youngest of our big bunch of siblings and our brother Bobby’s twin. When she was young, she was a Houdini extraordinaire: she’d challenge all of us to tie her up as best we could, and whatever knot we made or box we stuffed her into, she would manage to get out in seconds.
She loved to dance and sing, and most of all, her prime hobby was doing wild and crazy things with her hair. Every day was new to her; perhaps she viewed the world through a different set of glasses than we. Her contagious smile and never-ceasing enthusiasm will be missed by all who were lucky enough to have met her.
