North Newton Shed Destroyed

On February 28, 1996 at 5:00 p.m. companies were alerted to the 1,000 block of Greenspring Road, North Newton Township for a shed fire. A heat lamp used to keep piglets warm caused a fire that destroyed a 30 by 30 foot shed, killing two pigs, 15 piglets and eight rabbits. Damages were estimated at $10,000. The Vigilant Hose and Cumberland Valley Hose companies assisted at the scene.
