Washington Fire Crews responded to a barn fire on the west edge of Washington around 12:00 p.m. on June 17th. Upon arrival, they encountered a barn that was already destroyed and fully engulfed in flames. The dry conditions posed a threat to two nearby barns. However, the crews acted quickly, successfully extinguishing the grass fire and saving the two threatened barns. The Washington Township Fire Department received assistance from the Montgomery Volunteer Fire and Veal Volunteer Fire departments, which provided tanker support.
