$300,000 Fire Hits Ramsey Feed Company
JL W
Flames of undetermined ori
gin swept through a feed mill
here early Friday, causing de
mage estimated at $300,000be
fore being brought under con
trol by six fire departments.
Smoke from the mill, owned
by Ramsey Feed Co. was still
visible at noon. Firemen from
the Rose Hill. Wallace, Tea
chey. Magnolia, Warsaw and
Kenansville departments extin
guished the blaze within one
hour after it was discovered at
5 a.m.
Dennis Ramsey, owner, said
the cause of the fire had not
been learned, but added that it
apparently began in the old
section of the mill built in
1955.
"We don't know how It hap
pened," he said. "The old part
was an iron-clad, wooden struc
ture, and it was very dry in
side."
The feed mill, he said, had
just been Inspected by insur
ance agents who apparently
found it in good condition.
Ramsey, noting that several
finished feed tanks, each hold
ing 100 tons of feed, were still
standing, said that it wasn't a
total loss. The extent of damage
to the metal tanks and contents.
however, had not been deter
mined.
According to a statement Is
sued by MR. Ramsey, as soon
as is possible, plans will be
made to rebuild the mill. "We
are Immediately beginning to
make plans to rebuild," he said.
"The chickens dependent upon
this mill for feed are now being
fed by the good work of our
neighbors, wno are manufactur
ing our own form a of feed ta
J their mills. Nash Johnson, Ay
