Fire totaled a small granary in Sand Creek Township this morning.

The Jordan and Belle Plaine fire departments and the Scott County Sheriff's Office responded after dispatch put out a call at 8:46 a.m. Three minutes later, several fire trucks and as many as 25 firefighters began working to quell the flames, which had engulfed the storage shed.

Black smoke could be seen from the River Ridge neighborhood when the call went out, but by about 10 a.m., the fire had been doused.
