Barn fire

Posted on February 12, 2021

Local EMT Will McLeod said he experienced one of the worst moments of his life Wednesday night when he heard an emergency call dispatching fire engines to a fire at his parent’s home on Grambling Lane.

Fortunately, the fire was contained to a barn on the property and not the main residence. While no injuries were reported, the barn was declared a total loss. Taylor County Fire-Rescue was dispatched to Danny and Michele McLeod’s home at 7:06 p.m., and arrived just six minutes later. While the cause of the fire remains undetermined, the couple reported experiencing a power surge before noticing the barn on fire. The City of Perry Fire Department also had a unit on scene for mutual aid.
