“We’re taught to help each other.”
Fire truck sirens and a glowing light in the distance caught Ely Fischer’s attention while he was at a worksite Thursday night, building a deck in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
“We thought, that’s in our general home area, so we wondered who the neighbors are that have a barn fire or something,” Fischer, who is Amish, told The Epoch Times.
He decided to head home, about a mile away. As he got closer, he realized it was his own barn, which houses 12 horses, a steer, two sheep, chickens, turkeys, and about 30 little guinea pigs. Hay was stored throughout the barn, including the loft upstairs, to feed the animals through the winter.
