A hay barn in West Warren burned to the ground Friday afternoon.

Weber County dispatchers got a call about 4 p.m. Friday that a barn in the backyard of a house at 6207 W. 1950 North was on fire.

Fire crews from three Weber Fire District stations responded to the call, but firefighters could not save the barn. It and the hay burned quickly, said Weber County Sheriff's Lt. Mark Lowther.

Barn fire kills 22 show horses

With snow on the ground and the temperature hovering around 20 degrees, Art Hahn made sure every door in the New Jersey barn where he kept 22 trophy show horses was closed securely before he headed home Friday afternoon.

"Everything was locked up so the horses would stay a little warmer," Hahn said.

But shortly before 2 a.m. Saturday, Hahn awoke to a neighbor pounding on his door. He looked across the street at the barn: It was engulfed in flames.
