Six Animals Die in Hanover Township Barn Fire

Three horses, two ponies and a goat are dead after a barn fire in Hanover Township this morning.  

The fire destroyed a barn on Stahlheber Road, according to authorities and witnesses at the scene. One of the horses was more than 30 years old.

The fire was reported around 8 a.m.  Four departments were called to battle the flames. No humans were hurt and officials say they're not yet sure how the fire started. The family tells Local 12 they are devastated and they suspect a fan in the barn may have contributed to the fire.
