Fire destroys farm equipment on Ike Lane

 An equipment shed full of farm equipment was destroyed early Tuesday morning at 165 Ike Lane in St. Mary.

The Raywick Fire Department was dispatched to the scene at 4:30 a.m., and according to Raywick Fire Chief Chuck Helm, the shed was fully involved with the firefighters arrived on the scene.

The shed belongs to Larry Mattingly. It was full of farm equipment — tractors, lawnmower, balers, wagons and more — according to Helm.

"Everything that he had was in that building," Helm said.

The Lebanon and Loretto fire departments and the Marion County EMS were also called to the scene.

Helm said the cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Kentucky State Fire Marshall. However, he added that the cause appears to be accidental and was possible electrical in nature.
