Rural Sunbury barn goes up in $40,000 blaze

An unattended wood stove was the source of a barn fire Saturday that caused around $40,000 in damages, including farming equipment, but left cattle in the barn unharmed.

The blaze broke out at the 322 Boyles Run Rd. building around 3:53 p.m. while the owner, Kenneth Kessler, wasn’t home.

“The home owner said he started the (wood stove) fire around 10 a.m. and went out for a while,” said Michael Rhoads, assistant fire chief for the Sunbury Fire Department.

The barn was used to store Kessler’s nine cows, along with equipment — including a hay baler, manure spreader, four-wheeler, riding tractor and air compressors. Damage was estimated at $40,000 and Kessler does have insurance for the building, Rhoads said.

  • Swine flu kills GMC patient
    Geisinger Medical Center on Friday reported its first swine flu death. The unidentified 24-year-old patient is believed to be the first to die from the virus in the Valley.

    Hospital spokeswoman Marcy Marshall on Friday said that because of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act guidelines, the medical center could not provide additional information.
    “The Geisinger family sends our thoughts and prayers to the patient’s family,” Marshall said in a statement.

    “This death underscores the potential severity of the H1N1 swine-origin virus, and we recognize that this latest development does hit close to home,” Marshall said.

    “As we continue to see increasing cases of H1N1 influenza, we encourage the public to contact their primary care providers and student health centers for more information on where to get vaccinated,” Marshall said. “Vaccine production has been slow, but we do eventually expect that there will be enough for everyone. There are limited supplies, and health providers are awaiting additional doses from the Department of Health, which is judiciously allotting available supplies. “
