Today we were contacted by Mr. Clifford Adams of Ravenden Springs who recently lost his barn and contents to a fire.
The following is Mr. Adams statement:
Most of you know I lost my barn and 300 plus bales of hay to a fire last week.
I’d like to express my appreciation to the Imboden Volunteer Fire Chief Jim Jones and all the dedicated fireman from 5 departments who assisted.
Your efforts to control the fire and remove equipment are greatly appreciated.
Also thanks to law enforcement for quickly identifying those responsible for the fire.
I am also grateful to those who have offered help me with hay to finish out the feeding season.
I cannot express how much I appreciate my friends during this time.
