A small horse shelter and an old trailer were destroyed after a burn barrel fire spread to the nearby grass late Saturday afternoon at a yard in Schoenwiese. 

21 members of Altona/Rhineland Emergency Services responded to the call shortly after 5 p.m.

Fire Chief Greg Zimmerman says the homeowners worked hard to keep the flames from reaching the house and larger structures on the property. 

Fire fighters arrived and finished putting out the grass fire.
