*32— Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 8,1983 (Continued from Pace Al) went as high as $150,000, and in cluded a tractor, various pieces of farming equipment and ap proximately 33,000 bales of hay and straw. ‘‘lt’s a terrible thing,” Gray says, recalling the hours he’d spent, and the labor paid out, to fill the five-bay barn with hay and straw. “Farmers have enough problems as it is without having their bams burned.” First fire reported was south of Stewartstown at 1:05 a.m., with that town’s Eureka Company responding to the blaze at a bam owned by William Pyle. A car, boats, tractor and small amount of hay were reported lost at that Wiley’s Station burning. A portion of tfife Eureka Com pany, joined by forces from other neighboring companies, then answered the second report of a fire at the James Quesenberry bam, also in Hopewell Township. The third report was of a bam on fire along Dutton Road in Shrewsbury Township, owned by George Yannakakis of Baltimore. From farther west in Shrewsbury Township came the fourth call, to a wagon shed on the property of Leo Keller, Waltimyer Road, New Freedom.

Following the fifth report at the Gray property, a sixth fire call sent Baltimore County fire com panies to battle flames in the bam owned by Marion Hale, on Stable Church Road. Reported lost in that blaze was a compicker and other farm equipment. This latest series of suspected arson fires follows a “pattern” that residents say is typical of more than a dozen similar blazes in the past two years. Most have started during the early hours of the morning, in rural bams located near a road. On April 22, 1982, three barns burned in the Shrewsbury-Stewartstown vicini ty. Trooper Boyle suggests that rural residents pay careful at tention to any suspicious cars they sopt and record license numbers of strange vehicles. “But you’re talking about 1 or 2 a.m., when there aren’t many cars out cs the roads, or people to see what’s happening, ” he adds. While the open, accessible nature of barns makes them vulnerable, the use of security measures such as night lights, dogs, and locks on doors can add to the property’s safety.
