Scary! Roloff Farms’ chicken barn — the property owned by Little People Big World’s Matt Roloff — caught on fire on Tuesday, January 4.
“Never a dull moment here on the farm… we had a Fire in the Chicken barn !! A For real scary story,” Roloff, 60, recalled via a Wednesday, January 5, Instagram post about the Helvetia, Oregon, property. “Yesterday we dodged a bullet with our 110 year old sweet building. Thanks to my buddy Ty, who every year pushes me to have as many up to date fire extinguishers on @rolofffarms as we can fit in all the barns and structures AND the quick reactions of our farm hand Jason.”
The TLC personality noted in his social media upload that they ended up saving the barn’s structure — and the animals inside — after they saw smoke “pouring out the sides” and called 9-1-1.
“I had gotten home to the farm late the night before from AZ. It’s [sic] was 3:45 am before I crawled into bed, then [a] few hours of sleep later,” Roloff explained. “I hear the commotion in the chicken barn outside my window [and] flames are 6 ft high and spread along one of the interior walls. Between all the hands on the farm and the quick response of our local fire department, the barn is saved. Only some interior damage. Fire was caused by a light falling to the floor. Likely happened when all the chickens rush to get out their automatic door in the morning. No chickens were injured in the event.”
Alongside the Oregon native’s social media update, he shared a slideshow of footage of the local fire department arriving to his property as well as the leftover debris after the officers put the fire out.
“Never a dull moment indeed
