Company #27 was dispatched for a barn fire along with Companies 28, 53, and 54.  Companies arrived to find a well involved barn.  Companies worked to protect the house and other exposures.  Water supply became an issue because of ponds that were choked with algae.  Eventually 2 water supplies were established with 3 fill sites for tankers and 1 pond that was drafted to supply a 5" line.
