BERLIN TOWNSHIP, Mich.- A quarter-(m)-million chickens at one of Michigan’s largest poultry farms have been killed in a fire. No people were hurt.
Authorities say the blaze took out an egg production building at the Herbruck Poultry ranch near Berlin Township, causing some five million dollars in damage.
Firefighters from four counties worked the fire overnight. Some remain on the scene to douse hot spots and to investigate.
The investigators hope to use data from the computer system in the four-year-old building to find the cause of the fire.
