About 5,000 pigs were killed in a major barn fire east of Wingham yesterday afternoon.
A barn on a property on Orange Hill road, near highway 86 was almost completely destroyed, only a concrete base remained when fire crews finally left.
They got on scene just before 2:30 and were there for about 5 hours.
Fire crews from Wingham and Blyth got help from Teeswater, Howick, and Gorrie.
There's still no word on a possible cause or damage estimate.
