Fire Near Terril Destroys Barn; Damages Out-Buildings

November 22, 2014

(Terril)– A fire north of Terril Tuesday destroyed a barn and damaged an out-building, a house and a corn crib.

Terril Fire Chief Tim Mathews says firefighters were called around 3:30 p.m. to the Robert Fisher residence two miles north of Terril on County Road N-14.

Mathews says residents were burning off some grass when the fire got away and spread to a barn.

The barn and its contents, including some hay, a skid loader and a boat, were destroyed.

The fire also spread to a well pump house, which was also destroyed; and the roof of a corn crib was damaged.

Mathews says the blaze was so hot it melted some electrical wires and some vinyl siding on a nearby house.

Terril firefighters were on the scene until about 7:00 p.m.

No injuries were reported.
