At 10:13 this morning an alarm was sounded for Princess Anne Fire Co. (station 5) and Mt. Vernon Fire Co. (station 6) to a chicken house fire at the Czeczulin Farm on Mt. Vernon Road. The chicken house was fully involved by the time the companies were on the location.

ReplyDeleteBARBEQUE!
ReplyDeleteJohn's been a farmer in Mt. Vernon for over forty years. He escaped from communist held Eastern Europe in the forties. He is one of the charter members of the Mt. Vernon Volunteer Fire Company, and put a lot of time and money into getting the department rolling. His farm has also been one of the best kept operations in the area.
ReplyDeleteThats really a shame. I hope he had insurance so he can rebuild.
ReplyDeleteWas the house full of birds?
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for the loss of his farm operation. I hope he can recoup his losses and get back to growing birds soon

ReplyDeleteThat's a sad loss, I do hope he was insured.
