Hours after a four-alarm blaze leveled a large barn at the farm of Kenneth Snyder on Route 973 East in Hepburn Township early Friday morning, volunteer firefighters were back at scene dousing hot spots. The fire at 2525 Route 973 East broke out about 2:45 a m. and it took nearly 35 firefighters from more than a dozen communities to bring it under control. Firemen were called back about 9:30 a.m. PHIL HOLMES/Sun-Gazette
The owner of the Hepburn Township barn that was destroyed on Route 973 East early Friday morning was Kenneth Snyder, shown here center, talking with township Deputy Fire Chief Brent Michael, left, and Cpl. Nicholas Loffredo, a state police fire marshal. The blaze, which went to four alarms within 30 minutes, was discovered by a Lycoming Regional police officer. There were about 50 heads of cattle in the barn, but all got out after a family member, who lives near by, responded to the farm and let them out after being alerted by a friend who heard the call on his scanner. The cause of the blaze remains under investigation. Snyder also is the owner of two nearby properties at 1708 Rose Valley Road that burned to the ground eight days apart in October. First a barn burned on Oct. 17 and then a house that Snyder rented to a family was destroyed Oct. 25. No one was home at the time.While officials at the scene said both fires appeared suspicious in nature, Loffredo, when questioned at the Route 973 fire scene Friday about the October fires, only said “They remained under investigation.” PHIL HOLMES/Sun-Gazette
Hepburn Township and Trout Run volunteer firefighters were called back to the Kenneth Snyder farm on Route 973 East just hours after this huge barn was destroyed by fire early Friday morning. While firemen put out what had rekindled, Snyder family members and friends were busy rounding up close to 50 heads of cattle which were freed from the barn and sent out to pasture when the fire broke out.
