Fire Destroys Canton Barn

Cherokee County fire officials are probing what caused a fire that destroyed a barn in Canton.

The Canton Fire Department and Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services both responded to the fire just before 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 10 at 278 Brown Industrial Parkway, which sits inside the Canton-Cherokee Industrial Park.

When firefighters arrived onto the scene, the barn was reportedly “fully involved,” Cherokee fire spokesperson Tim Cavender said.

Cherokee firefighter Capt. Ryan McElwee told authorities no animals were in the barn, which Cavender added was a “total loss.”

Crews were successful in preventing the fire from spreading to nearby structures. No injuries were reported in the blaze.
