THE MAURY COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED TO A REPORTED OUTBUILDING FIRE ON KNOB CREEK ROAD MONDAY.  THE FIRE TO THE OUTBUILDING, WHICH WAS BEING USED AS A CHICKEN SHED, WAS CONTAINED, HOWEVER SEVERAL CHICKEN WERE LOST IN THE FIRE.  DURING THIS TIME OF YEAR, THE MAURY COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT WOULD LIKE REMIND EVERYONE TO USE CAUTION WHEN USING HEAT LAMPS TO KEEP ANIMALS WARM AS THEY OFTEN RESPOND TO FIRES CAUSED BY BEDDING MATERIAL THAT HAS IGNITED FROM HEAT LAMPS.
