Barn Fire Union County





On the way home from Northern PA, we came upon a barn fire, it was along Rt 45 West on the south side of the road just before Hartleton. I sure hope all the cows got out safely and no one was hurt. The large barn collapsed and the twisting metal sounded like the Titanic going down. There were several Fire Depts. such as West End, Mifflinburg, New Berlin, Middleburg & Evangelical Paramedics, that came from the East. There was other equipment blocking the road to the West, therefore we had to detour to the Creek Road. Hope all is okay

Ahhh sorry..I get emotional & I have to hold back. A couple of years ago, my neighbors barn got struck by lightening and engulfed really fast. It was heart wrenching to hear the cows crying that were trapped and the flesh burning smell.
