FOREST CITY TOWNSHIP -- A rural Litchfield couple has lost a large shed and workshop due to a fire Wednesday.

As crews battled the blaze, the sheriff's office says the structure became fully engulfed.

The shed and all of its contents owned by James and Katie Peterson are considered a total loss.

The cause of the fire has not yet been determined. No one was hurt.
