LAKE STEVENS — A couple of barns burned down after an early morning fire Tuesday.

The barns in the 4300 block of 99th Avenue NE, just north of Lake Stevens limits, were reported on fire before 4 a.m., a spokeswoman for Snohomish County Fire District 7 said. Firefighters from several departments helped douse the flames, using about 3,000 feet of connected hose from fire engines and water tenders. The nearest hydrant was three quarters of a mile away from the barns.

There were no injuries and no animals were harmed in the fire. Equipment and vehicles were damaged, and the barns were destroyed.

The Snohomish County Fire Marshal is investigating the fire.
