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.
