Firemen Save Buildings On Howard Flickinger Farm
Firemen from Walkersville New Midway and Frederick saved buildings on the Howard Flickinger farm between Walkersville and Woodsboro after lightning struck a large straw stack. The blaze consumed baled straw hay and soy beans and some machinery but a wind shift diverted flames from a Glades Valley barn. The Kling farm barn nearby was saved by similar luck. The county engine from Independent Hose Company plus Walkersville and New Midway crews fought the blaze past midnight and reported under control about 11 30 p m Thursday night.
