Fire devastates Pirie farmer's hay stack loss
R Louis J Hannan of Hundred of Pirie suffered a serious loss when a large stack of last season's day was nearly destroyed by fire last night. The blaze began between 5 and o'clock, started by the farmer's three year old son. Neighbours rushed to the scene, volunteers from Pirie and surrounding districts kept the fire from spreading to the homestead and sheds, though burning straw showered the area. Firefighters kept watch through the night as the smouldering straw posed ongoing danger. The hay stack, likely uninsured, represents a heavy loss for Mr Hannan and his farm feed supply.
