Tina's Tragedy

The following are excerpts from two upstate New York newspapers:

Efforts Hampered, Firefighters could not save Gainesville home

 By Robert Lowell Goller

 A monstrous blaze ripped through a Shearing Road home in Gaineseville Tuesday afternoon , and firefighters could do little to stop it.

 The house, located some 1,500 feet from the road, was a total loss in the blaze, which occurred shortly after 4 p.m., firefighters say.

 The house, the home of the Barber family at 5015 Shearing Road, was located down a narrow driveway that included a small bridge over a creek that no fire truck could safely cross. That delayed fire-fighting efforts by almost a half-hour. Firefighters from area departments busily pumped water out of trucks at the road and sent it down hoses to the house. They also had to deal with bone chilling cold as temperatures dipped into the single digits.

 The American Red Cross was housing the Barber family early this week.

 Firefighters hampered by location of burning house in Gainesville

 By Scott M. Vrooman Sr.

 Tina Barber could only throw up her hands in frustration Tuesday as she watched her house at 5015 Shearing Rd. burn to the ground.

 The house sits well back off Shearing Road, down a path and over a bridge that crosses the East Koy Creek. The problem Tuesday was that the large-sized firetrucks on the scene could not cross the bridge without danger of getting stuck and injuring people and damaging equipment…

 Firefighters from seven companies arrived at the scene, but could do little more than offer damage control assistance during the first half hour.

 Volunteers, state police and sheriff’s deputies moved a parked van out of harm’s way, removed a propane tank grill from the fire’s edge and rescued a kitten that got too close to the blaze.

 ….A call went out for the mini-pumper from Perry Center, because it would be the size needed to get across the bridge, officials said.

 “Can’t you do anything?” Barber asked the volunteers and police officers standing with her.

 …..Instead of waiting helplessly, firefighters were able to bring down tow lines by pickup truck, and began to battle the fire a half hour after it began.

 “The house was a total loss,” Reger (county fire coordinator) said…

 Reprinted from the Daily News, January 26, 2000

How can you help Tina and her family?

The SSDCA, Inc. has set up a special fund for the Barbers to fix the bridge and obtain new housing. If you are interested in contributing, please contact us immediately.

To Tina's customers, past and present, as well as all Shiloh Shepherd fanciers, Tina will rebuild. She is not giving up. She does request that anyone who has sent her a deposit for a future puppy and/or recently joined the SSDCA, Inc., to contact me

Thank you in advance for your support.
