VIDEOS/PHOTOS: A turkey coop burned down in Olive Township Tuesday night, according to the property owner. Just before 8:30 p.m., first responders were called to the property on 136th Avenue south of Stanton Street for a fire.
Over a dozen fire departments responded or backfilled stations left open by units responding to the fire, according to Ottawa County dispatch. The flames broke out in turkey coops owned by the family of Eric De Witt, who lives just a few miles away.
“We actually heard the sirens going by pretty consistently for about 10, 15 minutes and we kinda thought oh, we’d better see what’s going on,” De Witt said. He followed a fire truck to the scene — his own turkey coops on fire.
