Barn Destroyed On Orrstown Road

On April 25, 1968 at 8:51 p.m., firemen responded to the Orrstown Road, Southampton Township Franklin County for a barn fire. A fire of undetermined origin destroyed a barn on an unoccupied farm. Firefighters from four companies operated on the scene until 12:45 a.m. Water was shuttled by tankers from a hydrant on the edge of town. A damage estimate was not available. The Vigilant Hose, Cumberland Valley Hose and West End Fire and Rescue companies answered the alarm. On February 27, 1967 the vacant farmhouse on the property was destroyed by fire.

Sorry for posting two days in a row from 1982, I try and have different years each day and some how that one slipped in. I didn't even know it until this morning. Today's post marks the 200 since I started the site.
