BARN BURNS TO THE GROUND

PLANES, TRACTORS & CARS INSIDE

Grafton Township – A barn fire on Chamberlain Road in Grafton Township Tuesday afternoon drew Firefighters and tankers from surrounding communities to help extinguish the blaze.

It is still not clear on what caused the fire that leveled the barn but officials are investigating.

Inside the barn were tractors, 6 cars, propane tanks and two airplanes. Explosions kept Firefighters on guard and on a defensive attack.

Ann Rogers lives directly next door to the barn, Rogers said she was not aware of the fire until she looked outside of her window and saw the Fire Trucks. “I was doing dishes about 30 minutes ago and heard what I thought was thunder but now I’m guessing it was the propane tanks blowing up.”

Rogers runs a Kennel on her property and although the animals were a safe distance from the fire she still moved them all inside of her home until the scene was clear.

A water shuttle was set up at the road to feed water back to the scene. Fire Departments assisting Grafton Township were; Eaton Township, LaGrange Township, Litchfield and Grafton Village.

No injuries were reported at this time.
