PINE VILLAGE, Ind. (WLFI) - Multiple fire departments were called to a large barn fire Friday around 7:00 a.m. in Warren County.

According to dispatchers, the fire broke out in a pole barn near Pine Village along County Road 6571 East and 1100 North.

A neighbor told NewsChannel 18 they got a loud wake-up call when they heard all the fireworks go off inside the barn just before 7:00 a.m.

The neighbor told NewsChannel 18 the owner of the barn puts on a big 4th of July fireworks show and was storing all the fireworks in that barn.

There were no immediate reports of injuries. Thick black smoke could be seen for miles.

NewsChannel 18 still has a crew on the scene.
