“Prior to our arrival, the neighbours and the family had done an excellent job of clearing the barn. There were cattle under the adjacent barn as well, so they cleared all of the animals out, pretty much, prior to us getting there,” said Brooke fire chief Steve Knight.
Brooke Fire Rescue, along with crews from Watford and Oil Springs, responded to the emergency on Sunday.
“It’s difficult (to determine the cause) with the amount of damage that was done while we were putting the fire out, to determine it. So, there’s a possibility of an electrical fire but it’s undetermined,” said Knight.
Knight said the community that was involved did an amazing job.
“The family and friends and the landowner were just incredible and they all came together to help out.”
