A barn burned down Monday morning near Everson, impacting some livestock inside, according to Whatcom County Fire District 1 Chief Rachel Carlson. Firefighters were dispatched to the building on Hampton Road at 4:24 a.m. on March 9, Carlson told The Bellingham Herald. The fire was already fully involved when the 911 call came in, and the barn had collapsed in on itself, she said.

The barn was located in a remote location with no nearby fire hydrants, so crews had to use water tenders to put out the flames, according to Carlson. Crews cleared the scene around 9:20 a.m. No human injuries were reported. Carlson said she was unsure how many animals were impacted. The cause of the fire appears to have been accidental. There was no evidence of suspicious circumstances, according to Deb Slater with the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office.

Drivers/engineers have been called the unsung heroes of the fireground. If the engine crew on the end of the handline doesn’t get sustained water pumped at the correct pressure and flowing the needed volume of water, the firefight can come to a screeching halt.
