Fire Damages Alexander County Poultry Operation Early Tuesday Morning

April 30, 2024 By Richard C. Gilbert

Sugar Loaf, Vashti and Central Alexander Fire Departments got an early wake-up call on Tuesday.

Around 1 am, units were called to 2478, Highway 16 north. When the first firefighters arrived, a portion of a poultry house was engulfed with flames. The fire destroyed a section of the structure before being brought under control.

The location had recently been cleaned so no birds were lost.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
