Barnfire kills 2 horses
A barn fire south of St. John killed two horses trapped in their stalls early today. Multiple fire departments responded to the blaze, with firefighters beating it back for about 40 minutes. “But it was already gone,” Cedar Lake Fire Chief Todd Wilkening said. The barn was owned by Jose and Adela Vega. They were set to enter the show horses in Chicago’s Cinco de Mayo parade.
