A fierce wind blew across a hilltop farmstead west of Janesville on Monday, feeding flames that destroyed a barn and a farmhouse at 4829 W. County A.
The Janesville Fire Department was dispatched to the scene at 2:43 p.m. Monday, Battalion Chief Ryan Murphy said. Responding units reported a fully involved, wind-driven fire in the barn and requested additional help fighting the fire.
The wind blew thick black smoke from south to north across County A and helped the fire jump to the house on the property.
Murphy said firefighters tried to get to the house early on during the incident, but the heat from the wind-whipped flames kept them away. One firefighter was treated for heat exhaustion, according to a fire department news release. Nobody else was injured.
