Livestock saved from barn fire just east of Blyth - May 9, 2019

The Fire Department of North Huron’s Blyth and Wingham halls, alongside assistance from the Huron East Fire Department’s Brussels hall and the Central Huron Fire Department responded to a fully-engulfed barn on Sunday afternoon just outside of Blyth. The blaze is estimated to have done $200,000 in damage, however, due to the assistance of civilians and neighbours, 30 head of cattle from within and around the structure were saved, ensuring no livestock was lost in the tragedy. While firefighters from North Huron, Central Huron and Huron East were battling the blaze, the Howick Fire Department was on standby for any other emergencies that occurred in the area.   (Denny Scott photo)
