Firemen arrived to find the barn well involved and concentrated their efforts on protecting the exposures. Firefighter hauled water from a nearby farm and the stream at Brookside to battle the fire. Lost in the blaze were 16 goats, four hogs, two antique buggies and sleighs and numerous tolls and implements. A bolt of lighting caused the fire. The Vigilant Hose Company stations 1 & 2; Newville and Penn Twp. fire companies battled the blaze until 9:15 p.m. The CV’s ambulance made two runs for the day.
