A barn was burning Thursday afternoon at the Critter Country Animal Farm on Route 981 in South Huntingdon.

The road reopened to traffic around 4:30 p.m., as multiple fire companies worked to contain the blaze.

Critter Country has more than 55 different kinds of animals, according to its most recent U.S. Department of Agriculture inspection report from Oct. 7. The list includes monkeys, lemurs, an Asiatic water buffalo, a leopard, a kangaroo and many more.

The zoo and owner Laurie Salvio have received positive inspection reports from the USDA going back a decade, with only minor items out of compliance over the years.

Salvio owns the business with her husband Rob.
