Large Ashfield Barn Razed
By Saturday Morning Fire
A large steel barn owned (by
GirvinReedaf-Dungannon-and
situated a short distance south of
Lanes Storein AshfieldTown-_
ship, was destroyed (by fire on
Saturday morning. ) . .
The bam and an attached shed,
which was also destroyed, were
filled with stock, feed and im
plements, running the loss to a
high figure. |
There were 28 head of cattle
burned to death °in the barn, but
eleven head escaped from . the
shed which was open. Implements
in the shed which were destroy-
. ed included a corribine, forage
harvester, mower, disc, cultivat
or and all his seeding equipment.
The barn was well filled with
, grain, baled hay and baled straw.
A “freak” electrical storm
which hit this community early
. Saturday morning is believed to
have been the cause of the out
break and, smoldered undetected
. for a time. There was a partic- ;
. ularly sharp flash about 6.30 a.m.
. It was about 8,00 when Mrs. Jas.
Donaldson ■ ’ of' ■. Lanesville Store
noticed smoke pouring from the
barn and.. the, roof was in by
; sboixt 8.30. The conflagration is
\ believed to/have started in the
south end of the attached imple
ment shed.
— Girvin lives at Dungannon and
commutes daily to his farms in
the Lanesville district. He was at
the barn qij the -former W."P.
Reed farm on the 10th Conces-
sion about ‘ a mile distant when
the fire was discovered and was
raging beyond control so that a
fire alarm was not turned in. A
smaller frame barn located to th£
< south-east escaped the flames.
Had it gone, the house would
have been endangered. The barn
also , escaped destruction 32 years
. ago, when fire destroyed the
main barn on this farm, then;
. owned by Girvin’s father, Melvin
Reed. That fire was in January!
• ' 1922. \ •/. . r
. The Lucknow Fire Company
went to the scene at noon ‘ on
Saturday and’.damped down-the
smoldering ruins, while a tractor
power Cd scoop Was used to move
—some-of—the—unlbumed—grain^-in.
Case it is of any value.
A watch Was kept throughout
Saturday nigiht and on Sunday
in case embers from the debris
might create a hazard to« adjac
ent buildings..
