More than 35 horses are safe after their barn in Vermont was destroyed by fire.

Lieutenant Steve Burke, of the Milton Fire Department, said crews responded to a call about a barn blaze in Milton on the morning of Nov. 25. Upon arrival, firefighters found the L-shaped structure fully involved in fire.

“There were 40 horses in their (stalls) at the time, and some of the stalls were on fire,” Burke said.

Even so, the property owner, neighbors, and fire crews were able to evacuate the animals from the burning building
