LINCOLN
At 11:10 a.m. on
Sunday, local fire departments were dispatched via auto aid with
Hartsburg Fire Department to the Greg Conrady farm for a report of a
barn on fire that was also threatening a residence.
The call was in the Hartsburg district with assistance brought in
from Atlanta, Armington, Emden, San Jose, New Holland, Middletown,
Lincoln City, Lincoln Rural, LCPA, and Sheriffs Dept. Latham was
also requested in to backfill and cover LRFPD district while we were
out.

Lincoln Rural was the
first to arrive, finding the barn to be fully engulfed as well as a
house trailer next to it. The trailer was the residence of a farm
hand and his family that works for the Conrady's. The occupants were
at home the at the time the fire was noticed, and are the ones who
contacted 9-1-1. The family exited the property with no injuries
incurred.

Due to the vast amount of fire on arrival, the blaze was fought as a defensive
fire from the outside. No injuries occurred to civilian or fire personnel.
The barn and trailer were a complete loss.
