Firefighters Converge to Battle Barn Fire Off Norrisville Road

A barn fire off Norrisville Road drew firefighters from around the region Friday afternoon, according to officials.

At 1:30 p.m., crews were dispatched the 5100 block of Jolly Acres Road near White Hall, where a barn was ablaze, said Rich Gardiner, spokesman for the Harford County Volunteer Fire and EMS Association.

As of 3 p.m., Jolly Acres Road was closed between Green Road and MD 23/Norrisville Road to allow firefighters the space needed for water supply operations, according to Gardiner.

The barn was 75 by 50 feet, Gardiner said. Firefighters from Baltimore County, Harford County and York County (PA), converged to assist, according to Gardiner.

By approximately 2:45 p.m., he said the blaze had been contained, and firefighters were operating defensively with ”large master streams.”
