About 10,000 Chickens Die in Barn Fire

By Chris Taylor

Possum Trot, KY – A fire Monday night destroyed a building at a Possum Trot chicken farm killing some ten thousand of the animals. Owner Gurvey Jones tells WPSD-TV he thinks the fire could have started in an electrical panel and quickly spread throughout the barn. The Environmental Protection Agency will require Jones to properly dispose of the animals' remains by burying them, which he expects to take about two weeks.
