We give alarms based on how many other fire depts are requested which is different that the way big cities do it. I think this was a 7 alarm fire. There was a loss of 6000 hogs so far, more may die over the next couple of day do to stress. It's bad enough moving around in the cold and wind chill but then we also had to walk on the dead animals.

Toward the third hour of the call I also delivered 15 pounds of donuts and 5 gallons of hot cocoa was was warmly received. I ran through 36 bottles for our dept. We also gave the rural water service coop a run for their money by partially draining one of their water towers.
