She has two horses at Hillside. One of them was among the eight or nine that ran from the property. She was relieved when someone found them.All 39 horses were eventually found and not harmed.The fire started just before 9:30 a.m., but quickly took over the barn.Fifty firefighters from seven departments responded to the scene.Ellington Fire chief Jack Rich said some of the contents of the barn helped the fire spread through the old structure."Hay burns for a long time, it’s very well packed and it’s inside of a bale, so it’s very hard to extinguish the fire without spreading it out," he said.No injuries were reported.The barn was completely burned to the ground, firefighters said.Owners from other area farms have offered to take in some of the horses.“It’s definitely real tight knit, and there’s a lot of different people. It’s nice that everyone’s so close and they can step in to help,” said Ethan Dougan, owner of Blue Dog Farm.Copyright 2020 WFSB (Meredith Corporation). All rights reserved.×××Keep it Clean.
