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.

“It’s devastating,” said Tomasz Adach of Westfield, who came to take pictures Monday of the wreckage of the River Road Covered Bridge in Troy. “It really is.”
“It’s a catastrophe in terms of this beautiful wooden structure being ruined,” said Maureen McGuire of Newport Center, who also came Monday to see the remnants of the bridge.
