2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, November 10, 1987 My wil . Firemen from both Caesarea and Port Perry departments worked frantically for over an hour to get at the blaze which was burning inside the barn, filled with bales of hay. But in the end, their etforts were futile as they could not get at the fire because of the tightly packed bales. Fireman Jamie Donaldson injured his shoulder when bales of hay fell on him as the firemen tried to get at the blaze in the barn. Above, an ambulance attendant and Durham Police Sgt. Sandy Garvock attend to Jamie before taking him to hospital for observation. | Patrick G. Deegan DENTURE THERAPY CLINIC NEW LOCATION: 174 Water Street -- Port Perry BY APPOINTMENT ONLY!

Fortunately no cattle were injured in the Livestock was saved in (From page 1) was turned in to the Scugog Fire - Department. Captain Harrison said that initial- ly firefighters felt the blaze could be contained, but once they started moving bales to get at the flames, it was apparent the fire was well ad- vanced inside the piles of some 10,000 bales of hay. By 7:00 p.m., the entire barn was engulfed in flames which could be seen from several miles away. In all, close to 40 firefighters from both the halls in Port Perry and Caesarea responded to the call. The milkhouse and nearby driving shed were saved and Captain Har- rison said there was never any real danger that flames would reach the farmhouse. He told the Star the Department is not certain what caused the fire, but suggested it may have been electrical or from combustion. One firefighter needed hospital treatment for a dislocated shoulder when he was struck by a falling hay bale and several others received ox- ygen at the scene for smoke inhalation. The Redman's 39 milking cows, along with three dry cows and several calves were taken the night of the fire to a barn at the Peter Hood farm on Scugog Island. - Friends and neighbours who own trucks used their vehicles to transport the animals. At one point, when the blaze was at its height, it was feared the herd would start wandering back towards the burning structure, but volunteers were able to keep the animals safely in the field south of the barn. Firefighters took shifts to remain at the scene throughout the night to ensure the blaze did not spread to nearby buildings. Along with the loss of 10,000 bales of hay, the grain and barley in one of the smaller silos was lost, but corn silage in the large silo may be salvaged.

Mrs. Redman told the Star that early the next morning after the herd had been safely moved to the Hood farm, one of the cows gave birth to a heifer.
