Monroe Fire Company said that because the fire occurred Tuesday night, many area departments were doing training which allowed them quickly get to the farm with more firefighters than they might have otherwise had.

Bryan Lebo, who owns the farm with his brother Dwayne, said the structure was an open-air building that mainly acted as storage and cover for the wood supply used in the wood stoves that heat the farm’s greenhouses. Lebo believed that at some point Tuesday night, the wood that sits outside the farm’s wood stoves got hot enough to ignite, and that fire grew up the side of the structure.That’s not to say there wasn’t real risk with the fire. Lebo explained an adjacent building had straw wagons and heavy tractor machinery that could have amounted to tens of thousands of dollars in damage.Lebo called his brother right away and they worked to get the machinery out of the way of the flames.
