No injuries reported after fire at Hickman's Family Farms in Tonopah
Posted
No injuries have been reported after a fire broke out in a barn under construction at Hickman's Family Farms in Tonopah.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said its deputies, along with firefighters from Buckeye Valley, Tonopah and Harquahala Valley fire districts, responded to a structure fire at the farm near Interstate 10 and 411th Avenue.
Crews are actively working to contain the fire.
Clint Hickman, vice president of marketing and sales of the farm, and also the Maricopa County Supervisor of District 4, told the Daily News-Sun the barn that caught fire was under construction and was not occupied by any chickens.
Further, no injuries were reported and all workers appear to have been accounted for, he said.
Aerial video of the scene showed the barn collapsed due to the fire.
The cause of the fire is unknown and is under investigation.
