Upward of $300,000 in damage was reported in Maryland when a chicken coop was burned to the ground during a weekend fire, officials say.

First responders were called to the 3000 block of Barclay Road in Marydel shortly after 2 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 22, in Queen Anne's County, where a passerby reported seeing flames coming from the 60-foot by 600-foot chicken house.

About 50 members of the Sudlersville Volunteer Fire Company worked for nearly an hour and a half to bring the fire under control. No one was hurt, and no chickens were inside at the time, investigators said.

The fire started inside the structure. The cause remains under investigation, according to the Maryland State Fire Marshal.
