Fire in Arcanum burns up syrup operation

By Breaking News Staff

ARCANUM —

A fire in a small shed where maple syrup was being cooked Friday night destroyed the structure and everything inside it.

Arcanum Fire Chief Kurt Troutwine said the fire started in the chimney where a wood stove was also being used to keep the man inside warm. He was not identified by name.

Crews were called to a property in the 800 block of Arcanum-Ithaca Road at about 9:40 p.m. on a report of a fully involved barn fire.

There were no injuries, the chief said, but the shed was a total loss. Troutwine estimated the money damage at $30,000.
