The fire early Tuesday morning consumed a barn.
Exeter firefighters early Tuesday morning prevented a barn fire from consuming a nearby house.
The fire broke out shortly after 1 a.m. at a residential property at 56 Beech Hill Road, according to Assistant Fire Chief Eric Wilking.
The blaze tore through the barn, which housed a woodworking shop. Firefighters had the fire under control in about an hour.
"The crews did a good job," Wilking said.
No one was injured.
Flames scorched some of the siding of a house on the property, Wilking said, adding the home was still habitable. A pickup truck near the barn was also damaged.
The cause of the fire has not been determined, Wilking said.
