Farmhouse Blaze Destroys Outbuildings in Frederick County
A early morning fire destroyed a North Frederick County farm house and most outbuildings on the Albaugh farm between Detour and New Midway. Loss ranged from 10000 to 15000 dollars with ten engines from five companies fighting high winds and freezing temperatures. The blaze started likely from wiring in the pig pen or drifting embers and consumed the house, workshop, washhouse, smokehouse, and other structures while the bank barn and dairy house were saved. Personal effects were limited to a freezer and bedding. meat from hogs burned, with only four pieces spared. Fire crews from New Midway Rocky Ridge Selma Dway Walk Pav and Union Bridge cooperated to control and douse the flames despite water scarcity. The Albaughs, middle-aged, resided alone. the fire prompted multiple calls and investigations into the cause.
