A propane heater is being blamed for a fire that destroyed a poultry house this morning in Rockingham County.

The call came in right at nine o’clock and Fire Chief Jeremy Holloway reports that when crews arrived on the scene on Phillips Store Road in the Broadway area, they found that nearly half of the 400-foot structure was ablaze.

Holloway said the building was empty at the time so no poultry was lost nor were there any injuries.
