Brooder Houses Burn to the Ground
Two 20 by 40 frame brooder houses covered with insul-brick burned last night on Hunting Ridge destroying 500 young chickens along with structures and equipment. Talmadge DeHaven six seven miles northwest of Winchester on Route 522 reported waking at 2 30 to see the sky lit by flames. Clearbrook Fire Company of 24 members traveled 14 miles to the scene but both buildings were already destroyed. The blaze, fueled by a drum of fuel oil, scorched the siding on DeHaven’s home about 60 feet away though the house was spared. DeHaven said he had some insurance.
