NY barn filled with cows burns to ground


A barn filled with cows burned to the ground Friday morning in Northern New York.

Firefighters were called to the farm on Plank Road in Ellenburg Depot at about 2:30 a.m.

The barn was already fully involved.

“One of the farmers was getting up to go to the barn– about 2:30– noticed it was all on fire,” Ellenburg Depot Fire Chief Louis LaValley said. “There was no way to save any animals. It was fully involved when we got here.”

The barn had about 200 milking cows in tie-up stalls.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
