About 150 chickens made it out alive after a small barn fire in Amherstburg on Monday night.
However, the Amherstburg Fire Department says the fire did about $3,000 in damage to the barn in the 8400-block of Howard Ave. Investigators point to electric coil wrapped around water pipes to prevent freezing as the cause of the fire.
