No injuries are reported after a huge barn fire in rural Abbotsford early this morning.

The 80 foot by 50 foot barn near Ross Road and 58th Avenue burst into flames about 1:30am.

A woman living in a trailer next to the barn woke up to what she thought was a windstorm and looked out to see the inferno.

She says “of course I left right away.  Grabbed my keys, grabbed the vehicle and go.  And what did you see when you left?  Sparks, lots of sparks and fire.”

At one point, her trailer was surrounded by flames, but firefighters were able to save it.

The cause of the fire isn’t known, but some thought is being given to an electrical fault.
