A raging fire, whipped by . strong winds, swept through the Stephen A. DeWitt farm, Route 41A Town of Niles Friday, causing an estimated $50,000 damage and putting the entire farm out of operation, fire officials report.
Origin of the blaze is undetermined, according to New Hope Fire Chief Leland Weed. Investigation of the fire is continuing, according to Chief Criminal Deputy Frank J. Sikora. There is no indication at this time that the fire was started by an arsonist. Deputy Sikora said.
Chief Weed estimated the damage at $50.000. The farm was partially covered by insurance, the chief said.
Lost m the blaze was 24 head of cattle, two 70 by 40 foot barns. 100 tons of baled hay, 125 tons of grain, firemen said.
Flames, stirred by a wind of up to 30 miles per hour, jumped 50 feet from the barns and set fire to the farm house and a small shed, according to firemen.
Firemen described the fire with:
The west wall of the house was destroyed and the interior entirely gutted. Some clothing and furniture was saved. The 12-by-12 foot shed, which housed small tools, was destroyed. The valves on two butane gas tanks near the shed were popped and the gas burned.
Mr. DeWitt was in the barn which house the cattle at 9:06 p.m. when he spelled the smoke. The blaze started in the extreme north end of the barn nearest the house in a hay loft. Mr. DeWitt was able to save one of the 25 head of cattle and a tractor before the heat became unbearable and prevented further salvage. He then called the firemen.
New Hope fire fighters under Chef Lealand Weed were first to arrive at the scene. They were followed closely by Owasco companies 1 and 2 with Charles Edgar Canavan and Samuel DeFabio, Skaneateles, Fleming and Moravia volunteers gave mutual aid bringing the total number of volunteers fighting the blaze to about 125.
The fire had already had a good start when firemen arrived and with the strong winds quelling the blaze was difficult. A light rain was falling but did little in cooling the flames.
As the fire reached the DeWitt house the wind subsided considerably giving firemen a better chance at dousing the blaze. Once the flames reached the house they worked up the wall and into the partitions and into a blind attic. Firemen chopped holes in the wall and roof to douse the pockets of flame.
Water used in putting out the blaze was brought in from Bear Swamp Creek, located about one mile from the farm. Trucks equipped with water tanks carried the water from the creek to the fire scene, fire officials said.
According to friend of the DeWitts it was not known where the DeWitt couple and their son, who is a student in high school were going to stay but it was indicted that they would stay with relatives.
Sheriff John H. Milliman. Criminal Deputy P. M. Pettigrass and Deputy Allen Sharpsteen were at the scene. Trooper A. A. Leja assisted in the investigation.
