1950.0. "Barn Burnt in Berlin/Bolton,MA" by PCBUOA::LPIERCE (Do the watermelon crawl) Wed Feb 08 1995 12:12

    
    I have been hearing about a barn that burned down in Berlin or Bolton
    Mass?  (folks get the 2 towns confused) The barn fire killed about 12
    Arabs -
    
    Has anyone heard about this?  and can we help?

    Louisa,
    
    	I heard this on the news this morning - the announcer said it
    happened in Berlin and the animals were valued at $400K.
    
    	That's all I know.

1950.2DEVASTATING BARN FIRESTOWOA::NICKERSONKATHIE NICKERSON 223-2025Wed Feb 08 1995 12:5311
    The horse were owned by Pat Delong...there were 10...each and every one
    of them were her "children".  To say the least, she is devastated.
    She has shown Arabians and National Show Horses for a goodly number of
    years...had some very, very good ones...including some national
    champions.
    
    They believe it was electrical...it was a new barn...last four years I
    believe.  One never knows.

    messages could go?

RE: .2

I was told that the preliminary fire investigation report cited an electrical
baseboard heater in the tack room as the cause.
