Structure box was alerted at 17:18 hours for a Payloader on fire in a structure.

Upon arrival the Chief found 1 machinery/feed building involved with a 2nd livestock barn off. 5 additional tankers were added to the box due to water issues and the proximity of 2 other buildings. Multiple units worked the call with the last units returning at 22:48 hours. Hanover Hospital, and Biglerville Fire Department supplied heated trailers for rehab, along with the crews of 19A and 33A.
