Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 0405hrs One person was hurt as a barn converted into apartments was destroyed by fire early this morning in Plainfield Township, according to emergency radio and on-scene reports. Initial reports state that just after 4 o'clock radio reports indicated someone was trapped in the three-unit structure at 1508 Pen Argyl Road, but everyone was out by 5:30am. A man in his 20's was to be flown to an area hospital, according to radio reports, but a supervisor at the Northampton County emergency dispatch center in Upper Nazareth Township couldn't confirm that.The south end of the building was destroyed by 5:30am and the north end was still burning. It appeared to be a total loss, Pen Argyl Road was shut at that hour. Firefighters from Plainfield, Bushkill Township, Washington Township, Northampton County; Pen Argyl, Lower Mount Bethel Township, Upper Nazareth Township, Upper Mount Bethel Township, Forks Township, Klecknersvile Rangers and Nancy Run Fire Co. responded. Plainfield Twp. EMS and Suburban EMS were present as well. Many of the outlying fire companies oversaw two retention ponds to provide water to fight the fire. The American Red Cross of the Greater Lehigh Valley provided services for eight adults and two children affected by the fire, according to a news release from the organization. The Red Cross gave food and clothing to three families, and is also providing lodging for one of those families, according to the release. The home is owned by Greggo Farms.
