Once they arrived, crews found several injured people outside of the barn and confirmed three people were trapped inside beneath the debris.
Officials say firefighters were able to rescue all of the trapped victims, and a total of seven victims were taken to local hospitals with injuries ranging from minor to serious.

Morris bikes by the barn daily. She had ridden by about two hours before the collapse. Her thoughts are with those injured during this difficult time.
"I just hope that you have a speedy recovery if you're injured, and that you get some care quickly," said Morris.
The cause of the collapse remains under investigation.
Officials say West County Line Road was temporarily closed during the response to allow emergency officials to work safely.
