\n Twenty-six horses died in a devastating fire that swept through a barn on a Georgia farm early Sunday, the Forsyth County Fire Department said.\n <\/p>\n

\n Firefighters responded to a call reporting smoke in the area of Blue Springs Farm at 6 a.m., according to a news release. While a fire engine was en route, more 911 calls confirmed a structure fire, the fire department said.\n <\/p>\n

\n The fire had been burning for some time before it was reported by the first 911 callers, the department said.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cAs you can imagine, we\u2019re completely devastated,\u201d Blue Springs Farm said in a Facebook post.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe do not have words because we are in shock of this devastating loss,\u201d a post on a verified GoFundMe campaign page said. By Tuesday morning, the campaign had raised more than $40,000 toward its $70,000 goal.\n <\/p>\n

\n Responding firefighters found the barn containing multiple horse stalls engulfed in flames, the fire department\u2019s news release said.\n <\/p>\n

\n The horses boarded at the facility and the barn itself were a \u201ctotal loss,\u201d according to the news release. \u201cThese horses can never be replaced and will never be forgotten, \u201d Blue Springs Farm said on Facebook.\n <\/p>\n

\n No people were injured during the incident.\n <\/p>\n

\n Forsyth County Fire investigators are continuing their investigation.\n <\/p>\n

\n The family-owned farm housed a 32-stall barn and offered riding lessons, training and camps, according to its website.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
