KAWARTHA LAKES-A four year volunteer firefighter has been released from hospital after suffering physical injuries fighting a barn fire near Woodville on Monday. District Chief Dave Kish told Kawartha 411 the woman was taken to hospital and had x-rays and other tests done and was released Monday night. She is now home and resting.
Kish says five stations responded to the fire when the call came in just before noon. Wind and bitter cold hampered the battle.
The barn on Agnes Road was completely destroyed. Kish estimates the damage to be about $50,000. 20 head of cattle and 5 goats perished in the blaze.
The exact cause is not being released but according to Kish the fire is not considered suspicious.
