Crews from three departments battled barn fire in Castle Rock on May 23.

The initial call was received at 2:48 a.m. for a barn fire in the Castle Oaks area of Castle Rock. Firefighters from Castle Rock Fire and Rescue were dispatched along with Franktown and South Metro responded.

Upon arrival, units found a large barn fully involved and began defensive operations.
