Cambridge (Ontario) firefighters were dispatched to 1932 Seaton Road on May 13 for a barn fire at 05:45. Cambridge covers this area for the first hour for North Dumfries Township. Three quints, a pumper, a tanker, a rescue and the Platoon Chief responded to the fire in the century-old stone barn. North Dumfries was requested to send their tankers while crews were responding. The barn was fully-involved and all firefighting was defensive.
A fully restored 1954 International tractor, and a 1931 Model A Ford (98% restored) were lost in the fire. Water was shuttled from a hydrant approximately three miles from the fire. Crews were on scene until 11:00. Box 690 provided rehab for five hours.
