When a Grafton County Farm truck recently caught fire near his farm, North Haverhill, NH, Assistant Fire Chief Preston Hatch came up with a different way to extinguish it. Because of its location a regular piece of fire apparatus could only get to about 1000 feet away from it, so Chief Hatch dumped about 15,000 gallons of liquid manure on it. The strategy worked.
