A fire at the Haskell farm last Monday has been ruled accidental. According to A.J. McCarthy, chief of the Longwood Fire Co., a piece of electrical equipment sparked and started the fire at the far end of the greenhouse.

McCarthy confirmed no one was hurt, though a tenant at the farm was treated on site for smoke inhalation. He couldn’t identify the tenant because of HIPPA regulations.

Seven different fire companies responded to the afternoon blaze. With no hydrants in the area of the fire, tanker trucks filled portable reservoirs with water. Hundreds of feet of hose connected the reservoirs to trucks that pumped the water onto the fire.
