Pager goes off at 3am in the morning for a barn fire near Whitebird, ID. I just barely got home at 1pm in the afternoon. The landowner lost his barn and about 300 ton of hay. Fire Chief figures its wet hay that started the fire. I got to admit hay fire are nasty and hard to put out. Fire Chief lost count on water after about 60,000 gallons and it was becoming day light at that point so 200,000 to 300,000 would be a valid guess of how much water we pumped on this fire.
