DENVER, Pa. (AP) - A fast-moving blaze at a farm in Pennsylvania’s Amish country has left about 1,000 turkeys dead.

WGAL-TV reports the fire started Tuesday morning at around 3 a.m. at a turkey coop in Denver, about 63 miles west of Philadelphia. All turkeys inside were killed and the structure was destroyed. The blaze was brought under control about an hour after it started.

The fire chief says the blaze appears to be an accident, but they aren’t sure how it started.



The farmer says he was expecting a delivery of more turkeys on Tuesday.

No people were hurt.
