New barn almost
up in flames
McGILLIVRAY TWP. — A sudden change of wind
direction almost caused a new barn to go up in
smoke at a farm on Mount Carmel Road.
Farmer Tom Glavin was burning wood from a
demolished barn after 2 p.m. Saturday when a
gust of wind from the west caused his controlled
fire to move towards his nearby new barn.
Glavin hosed down his new barn till the Lucan
Biddulph fire department arrived.
Ten volunteer firefighters in three trucks took
about an hour to control the fire. The new barn
received only a small burn mark.
