12/31/08 - Delhi Twp barn fire, 658 Wolverine Rd
The last structure fire of the year for Delhi Township Fire Department came in just after 6 PM on Wednesday, December 31, 2008. Delhi Twp firefighters were out of station on another fire call, so command requested Mason Fire Department early for mutual aid, advising them that they would be first due with Delhi making a delayed response. Mason firefighters arrived to find a long, 1 story metal pole barn structure that had been burning for quite some time undetected. Most of the contents of the barn had already been consumed by the fire when attack lines were first stretched. Additional mutual aid was requested from the Dansville Fire Department for manpower since the barn was going to have to be disassembled to complete extinguishment. All of the contents of the barn, including several farm tractors, were destroyed by the fire.
