Fire crews battled Bristol barn blaze Thursday afternoon

A barn fire in Trumbull County kept fire crews busy Thursday afternoon.

Bristol Township's fire chief says several departments helped put out a barn fire located at the intersection of route 45 and Bristol-Champion Road.

The chief says the owner told him the barn collapsed a few months ago but he still had electricity connected. It's believed that's what started the blaze.

No animals or equipment were in the barn at the time.
