Josh Initial report on the scanner was all animals and everyone were out. Guessing no Friday night cook out as it appears by the photo to be that building?
Allen road is closed between Grsnd Ave and Ry 57. All other roads around are open. It looks to be near the store.

CraftBeerBob That's sad. Among other things, that barn contained all the farm's seasonal decorations. Hopefully they're insured.

Bonv I was near Walgreens and thought that smoke was coming out of a mountain. It was pretty scary looking. It reminded me of 911 tragedies, buildings burning, people jumping from windows to escape burning. It sent chills down my spine! I've never seen that big of a fire, before.
Thank you all for the information and photos. I feel bad for the Donaldson's. Glad no one was hurt, according to Grascal. This is such a busy time for them. Getting all the fall stuff together and such. I hope they are ok and can get things back to normal. My thoughts and prayers are with the Donaldson's.

CCB Luckily Friday nights on the Farm ended last Friday (Labor Day weekend)...so possibly more folks would have been there and usually park cars in that lot in front/side of that building that burned. They are scheduled to have 1st responders picnic/motorcycle ride tomorrow in honor of Sept. 11th.
SS2cats Animals are all fine and on the property at the other end of the farm. Totally not affected! Thank God!
skippy I just want to say that I really value the quality of life that Donaldsons brings to our community. As I was detoured today, I saw the beautiful sunflowers and green fields as I drove down airport road. I wish them a quick recovery and will do my part to support this great farm. I hope thus loss is not a big one and that our community will support the recovery efforts. And thank you, as always, to the first responders.
Farm shuld't be in fire. It is the back bone of every human being. Sorry Donald's. I hope it will be fine And tomorrow I will buy my corn
Produce Pete from New York NBC Channel 4 News just gave a shout out to his friends at Donaldson's Farms. He said they are up and running this morning and wishes them all well and he will see them soon. Thank you to the Donaldson family for all they are to our community ~ sending prayers your way for a quick recovery. So sorry about the fire. God bless you.
gwtwqueenie To everyone at Donaldson's, know you are very loved and valued by the community.
I think I speak for many, when I say we are all so sorry for this terrible fire, and at the same time, relieved that no one was lost.
You can expect our support ~ and speaking for myself ~ even more than usual.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
MAN Nicely said MAN. I concur. Big event over there today for 9/11 remembrance. Was not planning on going due to other plans. We cancelled those plans and are headed to Donaldsons today.
