EXCERPT FROM

January 7, 1976
Manheim Rd; along the
earns road on Monday
evening at 5 p.m.
According to Master
aonvQle Fire Chief Chester
Hotter, the Are la believed to
have been set by a spark
from a tractor in the barn.
Larry Faua was driving a
tractor out of the barn to
haul fertilizer when a spark
from the engine supposedly
caught the structure on fire.
Robert Kulp, 24, a volun
teer fireman suffered a
broken jaw while fighting the
blaze when he was hit with a
large pipe. Other firemen
had tried to throw the pipe
out of the structure when it
bounced off a beam and
caught Kulp on the side of his
bead. Kulp was taken to
Lancaster General for
treatment
The Rapbo Townabip
structure was burned to the
first floor with an estimated
$40,000 loss. Contents in the
barn which were also lost
were estimated to value
about $BOOO.
Although the proximity of
the barn fires caused many
to believe that arson might
be suspected, fire officials
still contend that each blaze
had a specific origin related
to natural causes. In
vestlgatlons are still con
tinuing.
