He continued: “Called 911 around 10 am yesterday with smoke pouring and I mean pouring out the sides.. the chickens had already gone out for the day a few hours earlier….”
“I had gotten home to the farm late the night before from AZ.. it’s was 3:45 am before I crawled into bed… then …few hours of sleep later. I hear the commotion in the chicken barn outside my window… flames are 6 ft high and spread along one of the interior walls….”
