A Volunteer firefighter responding to the scene of a working fire was injured when his vehicle rolled over late Friday. Blountsville Volunteer Firefighter Kevin Stautamoyer lost control of his sport utility vehicle in southern Delaware County after it struck a snow drift, said Blountsville Fire Chief Mike Lykens. The SUV rolled over. FF Stautamoyer was released from the hospital after treatment.
The fire at 7500 E Henry County Road 700-N, Mooreland, also killed at least two cows and destroyed a pole barn.
Firefighters believe a wood stove in the barn was the source of the blaze.
Because of extreme cold weather, water froze in two fire trucks. Firefighters from Delaware, Henry, Randolph and Wayne counties responded.
