I got a woke up in a terrible way this morning....

Postby brandon327 » Fri Feb 23, 2007 4:26 pm

with the alarm at my chicken houses going off. Then i get dressed and drive up them to find house #3 fully engulfed in flames. Needless to say it was a total lose and the house weren't but 3.5 months old. I just hope my insurance it what they say it is.

Sorry to hear about that. If they don't meet your expectations call me. We write ALOT of Poultry Houses. 601-259-4053. What was they cause?

Not sure of the cause yet. I am speculating that it was either electrical or a brooder malfunction.

Sorry to hear about your farm. You are fortunate that you already had them covered. In 91 my uncle lost 4 houses to that tornado right before the first bunch of chickens...the insurance wasn't activated. That was a very tough thing to fight back from and he has without filing bankruptcy. Call your agent and count your blessings even though it sucks.

I sure hated to hear that but hopefully the insurance will do you right. I think that was the same day that the fellow that was gonna plant corn on our lease plowed a fire lane around the fields and struck a match to it. Just as it started gettin out of hand he high tailed it the hell out of there. He claims somebody else lit it. Needless to say he burnt the house and a shed full of old farming tools smooth to the ground and nearly my tractor.
Burnt about 100 acres and had the fire dept there to well up in the night.
Beats all I ever seen!!!!

there are times for jokes but I don't think this is one of them, the guy just lost a major part of his life. Sorry to hear about your loss.
