Barn Fire, Florida, NY - 8/4/2010
A fast moving fire destroyed an onion barn in Florida, NY on Wednesday August 4, 2010. The area had no hydrants and water supply was a major issue during the early stages of the firefight necessitating a large call up of mutual aid tankers. High heat and humidity also took a toll on the firefighters and required further mutual aid for manpower. Investigators determined that the fire was caused by spontaneous combustion in hay stored in the barn.
