Chicken House Destroyed In Evening Fire

On August 9, 1971 at 9:45 p.m. firemen were sent to Orrstown for a chicken house fire. A glow could be seen by local firefighters as they left the borough. The accidental fire destroyed a frame chicken house and caused minimal damage to two other buildings before being controlled by firemen from three companies. Damages were estimated at several thousand dollars. The Vigilant Hose and West End Fire and Rescue companies answered the alarm. Earlier in the day the Vigilant’s responded to a field fire at the Rosenberry farm after a passing freight train started a fire that burnt 5 acres.
