No people or animals were injured in the fire at Aurora Ridge Dairy in Poplar Ridge last week, the Poplar Ridge Fire Department said in an update shared with photographs of the blaze.
Firefighters from multiple departments responded Wednesday night, Nov. 4, with some mutual aid crews remaining at the scene into Thursday morning.
As FingerLakes1 previously reported, Fleming Fire Department was dispatched at 11:27 p.m. to assist with the structure fire.

Photographs shared by Poplar Ridge show flames and smoke rising from a farm building during the nighttime response. The department’s subsequent update confirmed that people and animals escaped injury.
