New Marion, IN — Several fire departments battled flames and gusty winds when they were called to a house fire on County Road 600 South near New Marion Thursday morning.

The windy conditions made firefighting efforts challenging, but crews from New Marion, Otter Creek Township (Holton), Versailles, Osgood, and Napoleon were able to put out the flames.

The home is listed as a total loss but firefighters were able to save a nearby barn.

There were no injuries reported.
