Police investigate second barn fire on same York County property in less than a week

VIDEO/PHOTOS: Crews were called to the scene of a barn fire in York County around 5 a.m. Sunday.

The fire was on Hillview Road, near Picking Road, in Hellam Township.

Hellam Fire Company Chief Eric Strittmatter says the barn was fully engulfed in smoke and flames when firefighters arrived.

According to the chief, two fill sites and a tanker task force were used to supply water to fight the fire.

Strittmatter said there was farm equipment, large bales of hay and straw stored in the barn.

Fire activity closed Hillview Road for six hours.

The chief confirmed there was a barn fire on the same property last week.

No injuries are reported at this time, and the cause of the fire is under investigation by the State Police Fire Marshal.
