Update on Hay Bale Fire... Salisbury Fire Dept was first on scene, when passing over the overpass at the Big Stop and Trans Canada Highway all you could see was a 40 foot high wall of fire at the farm . Firefighters had to spray the excavator so the hydrolic hoses wouldn't burn off. Also lost in the fire a large tractor and bailer. There were 2 other large barns nearby, but they were saved. Fire Departments responding were Salisbury, Havelock, Petitcodiac, Riverview and Elgin along with over 60 firefighters...mostly volunteer and 9 pieces of apparatus. Tanker shuttle operations hauled more than 80,000 gallons of water and firefighters remained on scene until after 10:00 pm. Initial call was at 3:45 am....and person 2 km away reported a glow in the sky...and barn was fully involved on arrival. Owner said there were 3000 bales of hay lost. Video aired on CTV news at 6pm with Steve Murphy.

  • Hay Fire really Sucks.I was 6,5 Years Voulenteer Firefighter.We have some really Mad Straw and Hay Fires.It takes several Hour to get it cleared.Like you see in the Vidneed open all Bales and give a Mix of Water and Soap or Foam to cut the air off and cool it down.(But only one at Time).

  • 0:30 haha what a great job!

  • my barn burnt my mom got steped on by a horse what els could go rong???

    P.S. we did not have insurance.

  • Awesome video, good job

  • Great video, you must have a good rapport with the Fire Service to get in this close.

    My compliments to the Firefighters on what was certainly a very long day.

    Hopefully the farm owners will be able to recover from the loss.

  • Wicked video.

    Im surprised they let you so close to the fire.

  • great footage!!!

  • We dont need alot of people taking pictures please. This is pretty devastating for the family. Thank you to all the firefighters !!

  • Well that's good at least - I have to wonder with the amount of it that has been going on lately.

    Terrible loss though. I hope they had insurance.

  • So was this arson?
