In the early hours of this morning, members of the Lawrence County Fire and Rescue team swiftly responded to a distress call regarding a structure fire on St. Mary Road. The urgency of the situation prompted the dispatch of responders from various departments to the scene of a reported chicken barn engulfed in flames at approximately 6:45 AM.
This alarming incident marks the second occurrence of a chicken barn fire within a span of just 4 days in the area. The previous incident took place on Saturday evening around 6 PM, when a chicken barn located on Newton Road also fell victim to a devastating fire.

The authorities are expected to conduct thorough investigations into the causes of these fires and assess the overall fire safety protocols for similar establishments to prevent any future tragedies.
