“Fire up the Horses”
Suspected arson fire on horse stable leaving 15 horses dead.
Around four o’clock this morning, one day before the opening of racing season, a fire erupted inside the stables hosting 25 horses. Ten horses did escape.
One of the jockeys that was on site mourned the horses stating, “That’s my best friends.” and “I love horses more than I do people. I feel like I want to cry.”
Jim Connery, fire chief, had this to say. “The fire exploded near the center of the barn. Flames were
shooting out of the building when we got here. The fire is definitely suspicious.”
One response so far
Humor isn’t always the way to go, Jacob.
I’m not sure what the first sentence is, but it could be combined with the next to make a lead:
Fifteen horses died this morning in a barn fire at Norfolk Downs, one day before the start of racing season.
Arson is suspected.
