Description

HAVRE DE GRACE, MD — Lightning struck a barn at Mt. Felix in Havre de Grace Wednesday afternoon, according to the Susquehanna Hose Company. Fire broke out at the structure, and the emergency response prompted the temporary closure of MD 155. The Susquehanna Hose Company was called to the 2000 block of Level Road before 3:30 p.m. for a fire at a three-story barn. MD 155 was shut down for the firefighting operation because the supply hose was across the road. Before 4 p.m., crews said they had brought the fire under control. Officials said the barn had been converted to a store at Mt. Felix Vineyard and Winery. By 5:20 p.m., Susquehanna Hose Company Chief Scott Hurst told Patch Route 155 had reopened.
