Fire consumes large haystacks in Lakewood

LAKEWOOD – Flames engulfed two large haystacks Tuesday night at a farm on Pleasant Valley Road, keeping fire crews at the site for more than two hours.

At 10 p.m., the Woodstock Fire Rescue District was called to 11820 Pleasant Valley Road in Lakewood. They found two stacks of hay – each about 20 feet high and 20 feet wide – on fire. A house and a barn were between the haystacks, which were about 300 feet apart, said Deputy Chief Terry Menzel.

“The farmer had been piling two large stacks of hay for sale,” he said.
