On Wednesday, March 25th, Township Fire and Emergicare were dispatched to a reported structure fire on a farm in the Town of Washington. The caller reported that the fire structure was a shed and was near the house.
The initial engine company arrived on scene to find fire throughout a 20’x20’ metal shed with an attached 15’x60’ carport type structure, with heat from the fire beginning to impact the house. The house was promptly cooled, and crews spent the next hour extinguishing the fire.
The outbuilding appeared to contain mostly silage and feed for livestock and is a total loss. Damage to the house was limited to some minor siding and sofit damage. An estimate of the losses is not available.
Township Fire is also glad to report there were no injuries to firefighters, residents, or
livestock. The cause of the fire remains undetermined.
