LINCOLN, Calif. -- About a dozen horses were killed early Friday when a fire ripped through a barn in Lincoln, fire officials said.
The blaze started shortly before 3 a.m. at Doug Ingersoll Training Stables on McCourtney Road.
Firefighters said a 4,000-square-foot barn on the property was fully engulfed in flames when they arrived, giving them no chance to save the animals.
"The environment was too dangerous," said Fred Lopez of Cal Fire.
Fire crews from Lincoln, Penryn and Cal Fire battled the blaze.
The facility is well known for training cutting and roping horses.Many of the animals lost in the blaze were worth many thousands of dollars apiece.
