Datemas lose
barn and sows
in tragic fire
Total damages have not
yet been assessed from a fire
that destroyed a barn and 70
sows, on August 13.
Blyth fire department was
called Thursday morning to
Ralph Datema's farm on the
13th concession of Hullett
Township to fight a barn fire.
When firefighters arrived
the barn was too far gone but
the men managed to save a
$100,000 combine owned • by
Don Plant that was located
near the blaze.
Fire Chief Irvine Bowes
said the cause of the fire had
not been determined, and
there was only a small quan-
tity of hay (900) bales and
straw (500) in the upper
storey of the building.
Mr. Datema had been in
the barn earlier and stepped
down the lane to get his mail
when he looked back and
saw smoke. By the time fire
trucks arrived the barn was
engulfed. The building was
partially covered with in-
surance and Mr. Datema
was unsure about rebuilding.
Firemen battled with
smoke and heat. One
volunteer had to be
resuscitated.
