Richard Burch says he tried to get the animals out, but the fire at his farm on Dewey’s Bridge Road in Fort Ann Sunday afternoon killed about 90 pigs and about 30 cows, was just too big.  12 Fire departments battled the intense blaze Sunday afternoon, and four firefighters have been treated for heat exhaustion.
