NAMPA -- A massive fire damaged a barn in south Nampa Wednesday night.

According to dispatchers, the fire started at about 11:45 p.m. near Southside Boulevard and Locust Lane. At least four fire trucks responded to the blaze.

The barn quickly became engulfed, putting off a huge column of smoke. Witness Colby Dillon told KTVB the fire was so intense he could feel the heat from the front porch of his home.

Information about whether any animals were inside the barn and what started the fire was not immediately available.

The fire marks the second blaze at a Nampa barn this week. A pig barn on Iowa Avenue burned down Monday morning, but all the animals inside were able to escape.
