Several pigs were killed Thursday night in a fire that destroyed three sheds in the town of Deerfield, authorities reported.

A heat lamp is believed to be the cause of the fire that was reported at about 9 p.m. Thursday at 168 Fair Oaks Road, the Dane County Sheriff's Office said in a news release.

The pigs were in one shed and the other two sheds contained miscellaneous equipment, the release said.

All three sheds and contents are considered a total loss.

No one was injured.

Dane County deputies and the Lake Mills and Deerfield fire departments arrived to find the sheds already fully engulfed.

"Fire personnel were able to extinguish all three fires within a short period of time," said Sheriff's Office Lt. Charles Immel in the release.

No dollar estimate of damage was given.
