Maryhill firefighters could see a glow in the sky as they responded to the hall. The barn is located approximately 1.5 miles from the Maryhill fire hall. The barn had just been filled with hay that afternoon. Maryhill arrived on scene reporting a fully-involved barn with serious exposures on three sides. There was a large driving shed on the E4 side, and a large L-shaped barn with 200 dairy cattle on the E1 and E2 side. A farm tractor parked beside the L-shaped barn was fully involved. Wind was blowing from the east towards the second barn. Port-a-tanks were set up and water was initially drawn from two reservoirs in Maryhill and a hydrant in Breslau six miles from the scene.
