The Montgomery County Fire Protection District battled intense flames Saturday night to put out a hog barn fire on White Road, according to a Facebook post.
The press release says fire crews were called to the barn around 8:20 p.m. Since there were other barns nearby, crews focused on preventing the fire from spreading.
Some pigs died in the fire and the barn’s roof collapsed before crews arrived at the scene, the release states. No people were hurt.
MCFPD contained the fire with assistance from several emergency response crews, including the Wellsville, Middletown Community, Bellflower and New Florence Fire Protection Districts.
