I've seen the aftermaths of a few barn fires over the past few years. These were old structures, pre-1950s based on appearance, framed with heavy timbers and clad with wood planks and a steel roof. After the fires, the timber frames were still standing on their stone foundations, charred and black, but there was nothing to be seen of the rest of the structure.
