Newburg Barn Burns

On May 27 1967 sometime in the afternoon hours, KGD-556 alerted fore companies for a barn fire on Star Route 2, Newburg. Defective electrical wiring sparked a blaze that destroyed the barn and its contents. One calf was lost in the blaze. Firemen from two companies fought the fire for about four hours. A damage estimate was not available. Four years earlier the house burnt down on the same property. The Vigilant Hose Company assisted at scene.
