A lightning storm caused a large 100 X 55 agricultural processing structure to ignite in flames last night at about 1900 hours at 8 Asal Road. The building located on an Amish farm was just completed with timber sawn from trees on the farm. The structure was totally involved upon the arrival of the Randolph District FD with the residence and other structures being threatened. Rapid deployment of large caliber streams saved the residence and other out buildings from destruction. The Randolph District FD dropped 1800 feet of supply line to establish a water supply with assistance from the Farmville FD, Cumberland FD, Prospect FD and the Hampden Sydney FD. By the next day the Amish community was hard at work cleaning up the site as a new structure that will replace what was lost.
