Several Buildings Of MA Horse Farm Destroyed In Fire

TEMPLETON, MA — Multiple buildings of a Massachusetts horse farm were destroyed in a massive six-alarm fire Thursday night, according to fire officials and the farm's Facebook page.

The fire was reported around 9 p.m. at Liberty-Belle Stables in Templeton, from where all horses were removed safely from the barn, according to the Gardner Fire Department, which was one of the many mutual aid departments assisting.

The barn was completely swallowed by flames, which also extended to the house.

On Friday morning, Liberty-Belle's owner shared a Facebook post asking for happy stories of how the farm touched members of the community's lives.

"We need all the good memories we can get," they added. "This place was my dream, and I went into it with one of the best instructors out there. I could not ask for a better barn family. We are so grateful to have you all."
