Last week, a devastating fire ripped through a North Carolina factory farm. Ten emergency teams responded to the blaze at around 11 p.m. Wednesday to find the nursery, which housed about 4,200 baby pigs, on fire. All were killed.





The 700-acre factory farm did not contain a water source sufficient to fight the fire, so water was shuttled in.







You’ll never believe what Eagle Springs Fire Department Chief Marshall Nall had to say: “It smelled bad. It didn’t smell like what you’re going to eat at a restaurant.” Such an insensitive comment in the face of an obviously horrific tragedy.
