Vt. poultry farm fire kills thousands of birds
Friday, March 15th, 2013 PropertyIt was an emotional day for brothers Bill and Rick Thompson. Their livelihood for the past 25 years was reduced to a pile of debris in just a few hours Wednesday morning. "It hurts a whole lot to see it," Bill Thompson said. Just before 6 a.m. Wednesday, Rick Thompson noticed a barn on their farm was on fire. By the time firefighters arrived, it was too late to save it-- 20,000 quail and 30 Berkshire pigs were lost. "We were just embarking on a new part of the business; we were planning on supplying local restaurants with the pigs," Rick said.
