PHOTOS: Sevierville Firefighting crews responded to a fire at SkyLand Ranch that was discovered early Friday morning. According to Sevierville Fire Chief Matt Henderson, a 911 call reported the fire around 2:20 a.m., after people driving through Sevierville spotted a glow on the ridge.

When crews arrived, they found two large barn structures on fire. City of Sevierville spokesperson Bob Stahlke said the barns housed horses and small animals.

Sevierville Police were the first officials to arrive on the scene, and officers assisted in getting animals away from the area of the fire when firefighters arrived, Henderson told 6 News around 6 a.m. He said the fire was already advanced when firefighters arrived, and the higher elevation of where the barns are located led to struggles to get an adequate water supply.

Henderson said both barns a total loss. Firefighters continued working on the remaining wooded area. Henderson said no people or animals were injured in the fire.
