fire will spread very
rapidly,”
The time fires are started
is usually during the night, >
up to 2 a.m., he further
stated.
“I would be concerned if
there was gasoline setting ,
around in cans, or a skid ,
tank on the blind side, of the I
barn,” he said. “And be |
particularly cautious over
the full moon period, for
those four days, for there is
usually more arson.”
But he continued, there
are really very few bam
arson fires in the area
compared to the total
number of barns in the
Lancaster County area.
“People should be aware
of their property sitting
there,” was the way he
summed it up, “but they
shouldn’t lose any sleep over
it.”
Paul Z. Knier, Lancaster
County fire marshall, noted
that fanners should always
have an eye on their
property as generally good
protection.
“A good idea is to keep
your eyes peeled for
something off-color,” be

stated, ftracfa as people
roaming around your
property. If yon notice
anything auspicious, you
should notify the township
authorities.”
He further commented
that he thought arsonists
usually operate between 10
p.m. and 3 a.m., perhaps
because at that time most
people are asleep, and too
added that those buildings
dose to the road are picked,
because the arsonist can get
away quick from the scene.
“You’ll very seldom see an
arsonist go in a long lane to
burn a bam,” he com
mented.
He added that if he would
be a farmer, he believes
having a sharp watchdog
turned loose in the bam
might be a good idea to
discourage arsonists, plus,
as a general rule, the fanner
keeping an eye on the
building himself.
Again it was stressed
though, that there are very
few cases of bam arson,
compared to the total
population of bams in the
area, and no reason for
farmers to become unduly
alarmed.
