More than two dozen horses were killed Sunday at a riding school in Georgia after a barn caught on fire with the animals inside, fire officials said.
The Forsyth County Fire Department was dispatched to Blue Springs Farm, about 50 miles north of Atlanta, around 6 a.m. to a report of smoke in the area, which was upgraded to a structure fire as firefighters were en route, the fire department said.
When firefighters arrived, "the fire was well advanced, and it was determined that the fire had been burning for a prolonged time before being discovered by the first 911 callers,” the fire department said.
Fire officials said 26 horses at the facility were killed, and the barn was lost.
