I made the paper (sort of)

Responded to a barn fire in the wee hours of the morning and what I did made the Bowling Green OH paper:

Fire destroys barn near Luckey
LUCKEY — Firefighters from several local agencies were dispatched this morning to a barn fire at 6605 Devil’s Hole Road, southwest of the village.
According to reports from the Wood County Sheriff’s Office, the fire was reported at 2:45 a.m.
Troy Township Fire Department was the primary response agency. The township received support from Pemberville, Middleton Township and Lake Township firefighters as well. There were several tanker trucks and a ladder truck at the scene.
According to Michael Richardson, Troy Township EMS director, there were no injuries but the barn was a total loss. He said the barn contained a woodworking shop.
A nearby rabbit hutch also was destroyed but not before firefighters rescued a rabbit inside.
“They hit (the hutch); the water and saved the bunny,” Richardson said. “The bunny got out.”
He said another nearby outbuilding also was damaged in the fire, but the home on the property was not damaged.
The cause of the barn fire remains undetermined.
Firefighters were on the scene for hours. The last Troy Township unit returned to the station in Luckey around 7:40 a.m.

OK, so I didn’t get named but I was on the crew that saved the rabbit.  The barn was a total loss but no one was hurt.  That’s the best part.
