Bard Road Barn Burns

On April 12, 1982 at 3:13 p.m. a 52 box was alerted for Bard Road (just off Rt. 696) in Shippensburg Township for a barn fire. A fire of undetermined origin destroyed a barn and its contents. Responding units could see smoke from their quarters. Almost 100 firefighters from six companies battled the blaze for about four hours. Firefighters were able to utilize a hydrant near College Park apartments to battle the blaze. Damages were estimated at $70,000. Lost along with the building were a corn picker, grain drill, hay bine and hay. The Vigilant Hose, Cumberland Valley Hose and West End Fire and Rescue companies answered the alarm.
Look the day of the SEAGRAVE. That's all I have to say.
ReplyDeleteYes I thought by now the Wagon Master would have been on that, he must be slipping. I figured someone would be posting about the MPO with his arm up, I know who it is but I figured I would let people guess awhile.
ReplyDeleteIs it Chet Summerville?
ReplyDeleteI had posted something else, but I could not edit it. I was out of town this past weekend. Didn't get a chance to post until now. They just don't buld them like that anymore. I have one question. What makes a playground equipment builder qualified to build fire engines and fire trucks?
ReplyDeleteYes Sparky it is Chet.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry WM I deleted the two empty comments you left. And by the way, its my site and I can't edit my comments, hence the misplelled words. I never was very good with the english language. Who builds playground equipment? And I don't want to hear anyone complain, I drive a KME, God I hope they hire an engineer this decade.
