The farming community near Ladysmith is coming together for a local family after a devastating fire ruined their heritage barn and some of their livelihood inside.
Dashcam video shows the North Oyster Fire Department arriving to a fully involved barn fire at Yellow Point Farms on Monday night.
The heritage barn, that's now been gutted by fire, was more than 100 years old and was the sole reason the couple bought the farm five years ago."It's just devastating," added Rebeca."The actual building itself was so beautiful, so useful still."The two-storey barn had a large open wooden space on the upper level where the farm would host events like weddings and goat yoga, while the lower portion was used for farming operations and storage.
After hearing about the devastating fire, neighbouring farmers came to the couple's aid, donating hay. "Insurance is going to take a long time, but they need stuff for the animals now. They need stuff to keep the farm going," said fundraiser organizers Jacynthe Kutney and Carly Azyan."To have the community rallying behind us, that's why we love where we live and just can't thank them enough," said Rebecca."It's amazing. Thank you everybody."
