The Saline Fire Department responded to a controlled burn in Lodi Township that got a little out of hand on Saturday morning, catching the corner of a nearby barn on fire.

The barn was at the intersection of Bethel Hill Drive and Bethel Church Road in Saline. No one was injured in the fire and the barn sustained very little damage.

According to Fire Chief Craig Hoeft, firefighters were able to get the blaze under control quite quickly with assistance of Manchester and Pittsfield departments also on the scene with brush trucks.

Hoeft said though they're usually not a big deal, it's easy for controlled burns to get out of hand.

"People have to be cautious when they're burning and know what the weather is that day," he said. "They have to use common sense when they're burning."
