A rural Austin home lost a shed and nearly all of the contents within it after a fire on Wednesday night.

Austin Fire Chief Mickey Healey said the fire department received a call at about midnight on Wednesday, and it took firefighters about an hour to put out the blaze. Though the shed and its contents are likely a total loss, Healey said, the house and another building on the property were not damaged. Healey said the fire department has not discovered the cause.
