Fire authorities in Chino, California, are blaming hay bales for a barn fire that claimed the two horses' lives.

Chino Valley Fire District Public Information Officer Massiel Labrondeguevara said that on July 6, fire district personnel answered a call about a blaze in a barn containing two horses. At the scene, firefighters discovered one horse dead in its stall and removed a second horse from the barn, Labrondeguevara said.

“Firefighters were able to save him and to put out the fire that was on him,” Labrondeguevara said. “But when the veterinarian got there he determined that the horse's injuries were too severe and the horse was euthanized.”

Fire investigators determined that bales of hay stored in the barn were responsible for the blaze, Labrondeguevara said
