Please check where you store your hay; a little prevention goes a long way. We lost some hay from a new delivery that night, but we are okay, our animals are okay, and our buildings and structures are okay.”Investigators determined the fire resulted from spontaneous combustion.The farm spokesperson added: “Hay can ignite on its own, even in cold, damp weather. It’s easy to overlook until it happens right outside your window.”Firefighters returned to quarters two hours later.No injuries were reported. The New York State Police, Putnam Sheriff’s Department, and Putnam County Fire Investigation Team also assisted.</div></body>
