Fire at a farm and equestrian center early Friday in Wright County injured a worker, but the horses were safely rescued, officials said.

Sheriff's deputies were alerted about 2 a.m. to the blaze southwest of Delano at the Steepleview Farm and Equestrian Center on SW. County Road 13 and "found the arena area of the farm fully engulfed in flames," a statement from the Sheriff's Office read.

Deputies helped employees rescue horses from the barn before it caught fire.

One employee was taken by ambulance to a hospital for treatment of an injury that wasn't life threatening.

"At this time, there are no known deaths or injuries to the horses," the statement continued.

The circumstances about how the fire began remains under investigation.
