A dairy barn on Dutch Hill Road in Pine City filled with more than 80 cattle went up in flames Tuesday night. As the fire started to spread, farmers saved the cattle by rushing them out of the structure, with no injuries reported.
Fire crews arrived to Watts Farm in Pine City around 5:00pm Tuesday evening. Fire officials haven't conclusively determined what started the fire, but say it was probably caused by gas-powered farm equipment being used when the fire began.
The blaze was contained to the dairy barn and despite the high winds, the flames did not spread to the adjacent home or garage.
"I would say it's an excellent effort on behalf of all the responsers. They kept the main fire contained to the source, and protected all the exposures so house and garage still stands,” says Webb Mills Fire Chief Jason Halm.
Fire departments from Chemung and Steuben counties, as well as Bradford and Tioga counties in Pennsylvania responded to the rural location on Dutch Hill Road.
