Thousands of Turkeys Die in Fire

10,000 turkeys are dead after a barn fire in central Pennsylvania.

Eight fire companies were called just before 3:30 this morning to the Ray Byer farm in Adams Township, about 45 miles north of Harrisburg.

The barn was engulfed in flames when the first firefighters arrived.

The 300-foot-long turkey barn was destroyed, but firefighters were able to save another larger barn nearby that held even more birds.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
