VIDEO: Firefighters continued working hot spots on Wednesday from the Malloy Fire near the Cheney-Tyler interchange on Interstate 90 after the fire destroyed three buildings but no primary residences. One of the families affected said the loss included a barn that had stood for roughly 135 years. NonStop Local spoke with the Resa family, who spent much of the day reflecting on what the fire took and what was spared.

The family lost eight chickens that did not make it out of their coop. Their cattle and goats survived. The fire started with little notice and left the family with little time to react or prepare. The family did not want to speak on camera while they process the fire, but they shared why the barn meant so much to them. The barn was originally built roughly 135 years ago and stood as a sign of hope.

The woman who built it lost her husband to a heart attack in the late 1800s. She then relocated from Nevada to the Cheney area, where she built the barn for a dairy farm business that supported her four children. Some of that woman’s family still lived in the neighborhood, and although the barn was gone, its history remained with them.
