    Seven thousand turkeys were killed as a fire destroyed a barn in Stearns County last week.

    The Stearns County Sheriff's Office said the fire happened on April 30 around 10:30 p.m. on the 39000 block of McCormic Lake Road in Sauk Centre Township.

    The 64' by 200' turkey barn was fully engulfed in flames when first responders received the initial 911 call.
