barn fire
Burning rural structure
A barn fire is a fire that engulfs a barn—typically a catastrophic event given the combustible combination of dry hay, wooden structures, and trapped livestock.
Barn fires spread quickly and are difficult to control: They lost three horses in the barn fire.
The phrase sometimes appears figuratively for situations that escalate rapidly out of control.
