Iowa Farm Fire Result of Electrical Malfunction

A fire at a farm in Iowa was likely caused by an electrical equipment malfunction. According to the Sioux City Journal, the fire broke out in a barn in Le Mans last week.

The barn was a 1,200-unit hog confinement building, and fire officials said the electrical malfunction seemed to have taken place in the southwest corner of the building.

The building was a total loss, but no animals were in the building at the time of the fire.
