All old barns should be set on fire to make cool CZcams videos like this one! Sad that so many old barns are disassembled and the wood sold and recycled. What a waste. 😉
Very sad. People will come and remove old barnwood for free. Burn the remaining wood after the good wood has been harvested. Those large timbers can be purchased at custom sawmills and they cost a lot of money. Many folks building their homes choose laminated beams when they learn how much single timbers cost.
I feel the same as most of the comments that was a sad thing to see the barn burn. A lot of things could have been done with wood and other things that are in old barns but you had your reasons for the burn. As an old firefighter I must say that was a darn good fire.
I join many of the other commenters about wasting valuable old wood that sells for a pretty high price. It could have been salvaged and the remaining wood burned.
Jim built a big ole barn in the 20's, took great care of it in western Illinois. Jim's grandson sold it to a company in New York for $54.000.00. All Jake had to do was knock it apart and load it on three flat bed trailers. ( Took him two weeks of vacation time)
that doesnt mean every barn ever built is worth money... not everyone has 2 weeks to knock down a barn and to load it all onto flat beds.... and why leave firefighters with just simulated fires to handle and not give them a chance at a real building fire..
We use to live on an old farm with a dilapidated 100 yr old barn, we'd remove wood from it and make antique furniture and sell it. A LOT of money could have been made off that old barn wood.
That’s pretty cool. Chances are though, that the owners were old and had no interest in money. Nor the energy to make something new out of the barn. And judging by the immediate area, it’s obvious nobody would’ve taken the rights to the barn, even if for free.
you could have got up to $75 a board foot for that wood that's fine you could have got $50,000 for all that wood some people just don't know the gold mine they have right in front of them maybe they're Millionaires and they don't care
I too am sad to see such large nostalgic structures left to fall into disrepair due to it becoming way more expensive than it is worth to restore. Not only that, anyone with out buildings, (including barns), have to pay taxes on the buildings every year. If a barn is not in use, it is not financially beneficial to keep. When you have a huge old barn, they are not built to heat like today's livestock buildings. Most often too big, too drafty, and too cold in winter for the animals comfort. Sigh.......still sad as H. History burnt or bulldozed, or both. Won't be long when the only place you can see old wood barns in Amish country.
THIS ARCHEOLOGICAL INDENT ON HISTORY AND AGRICULTURE DESTROYED AT THE HANDS OF UNJUST, UNSCRUPULOUS, UNCULTURED SWINES REPULSE ME BEYOND COMPREHENSION! HOW DARE THEY DISMANTLE THE VERY STRUCTURES THAT DEFINE OUR SOCIETAL UPBRINGING, TO MAKE WAY FOR MORE EFFICIENT AND ACTUALLY USEFUL MODERNITIES! GRRR THOSE FOOLISH YOUNGSTERS THESE DAYS! ABSOLUTELY NO REGARD FOR OLD BROKEN DOWN BARNS MADE OF ROTTED WOOD THAT WERE BUILT MORE THAN 100 YEARS AGO AND ARE NOW PRACTICALLY RUINS OF WHAT THEY ONCE WERE! HOW COULD THEY??!??!!
I hear so many folks verbalizing how this could have been saved or that could have been done. I see the fire department is in on this and I know for a fact that Fire departments use structures like this to give new firemen real training. Plus only the folks involved know how safe or not that structure was to try to attempt to save the lumber. I just am glad the barn burn was done by the firemen and that lots of good training probably was done that day.
Sad especially because good old seasoned wood (of course only worm-free) is expensive these days. Many people (like me for example) renovate houses with it. Or building additions. I find it a waste if most of the wood was still good. But hey, just my opinion.
DOOFUSSES, Reclained wood like this is worth a lot. Amd likely more strurdy/long lasting for interior trim. All my long leaf pine casings and sills were harvested off an old roof in Austin, Texas. Folks who'd come by my guitar-making shop sometimes would ask where I got such nice wood.
The entire area around the barn, and those firefighters have to stand right in front of the camera. smh. And one of them even looked at the camera a couple of times and STILL blocked the shot.
This isn’t a “shot” made specifically for you to use Woody. This is someone’s actual building that they owned being demolished. It’s not gonna be movie quality as it is literal raw footage. Your complaints aren’t valid here, as nobody is at “fault” for anything. It’s their video and their barn bro.
They aren't playing tho...they literally are just putting it on the ground, no training being done....not a line stretched, hell other than warmth, there's no need for any PPE....that's like saying they aren't wearing SCBA..surely you don't wear SCBA to direct traffic so you? It's a non issue.
I makes me feel sad that all my efforts to reduce my carbon footprint have just been totally wiped out by this blatant and stupid act of wastefulness, what the hell is wrong with these stupid people haven't they heard of "Recycle, reuse"
I'm going to be the bad guy now. All those bad emissions you're putting in the air You're suffocating me I can't breathe no more and I live 700 mi away
I WOULD OF LOVED TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BUY IT! Just for the Beams ALONE!
I'm guessing lumber prices were a bit lower in 2014?
Don't you think they factored in the time it would take vs the money they'd make?
All old barns should be set on fire to make cool CZcams videos like this one! Sad that so many old barns are disassembled and the wood sold and recycled. What a waste. 😉
Exactly. I would of restored it & made it into a home
Both of you have absolutely no idea

Agree ☹
Dude, it’s there barn. They could throw it away or do whatever they want to do with it.
@@christopherhasratian1168 Of course.
Maybe they will now but not then
@@christopherhasratian1168 I agree, but it's their barn. . . . .
Tens of thousands of dollars' worth of reclaimed lumber up in flames. Spectacular.
Hey Michael Stelzriede did you buy or sell barnwood?
Grandpa loved blue stained sugar pine. Said it was really hard to find!
My thoughts exactly. WTH??????
This showed how fast fire can move by 6 minutes the barn is fully involved. Never underestimate what fire can do.
It's like watching something die. What a waste of barn wood. Lot of projects could have been made with that barn wood.
the barn probably could have been decades old, and it's in a winter climate, so the wood might almost have been rotting
What a waste indeed, there are wood beams 8X8 20 feet long, the kind of wood you cannot buy anymore
@@Mira-cf9ek That barn was probably a 100 years old and that wood was good
I've saved & rebuilt barns in a much worse state than this... what a shame
No shame at all everyone is permitted to do with their stuff as they please
shame for you, everything is better on fire.
you shold try it
It was a training exercise dummy, no one wanted this
How… how many barns do you own??
Then youd know how much time, effort and money it takes and that these people did that calculation.
I would have bought a lot of the lumber as it can be reused. This is tragic.
Sad history is being burnt. Love old barns, some may not be safe so hence this video

How do you know the wood was in good condition, or that it was even worth the effort?
I join many of the other commenters about wasting valuable old wood that sells for a pretty high price. It could have been salvaged and the remaining wood burned.
Why do I find this satisfying 💀
Too bad they didn't salvage the hinges and other iron work. The beams alone would be valuable.
Old Lumber like that goes for $33 a board I would have paid to tear it down for him
Another part of history gone up in smoke
And no one thought of saving this irreplaceable lumber? Sad.

So sad to see this old barn burn down there was a fortune in old barn wood.
That is the best fire I have seen
you could have got up to $75 a board foot for that wood that's fine you could have got $50,000 for all that wood some people just don't know the gold mine they have right in front of them maybe they're Millionaires and they don't care
Renovate & Update & LIVE in that beautiful ol' barn would have been SOOOOOO NEAT.....☹️
Fireman are always so quick to play with fire !
Where was the barn located
I too am sad to see such large nostalgic structures left to fall into disrepair due to it becoming way more expensive than it is worth to restore.

WHY???
What a waste of wood !
People love the old barn wood. They could have made good money selling it.
If that barn could talk
What a terrible waste of resources, usable space and history!
It got real hot in the winter.
This barn was in pretty good shape. Just needed a new exterior. Should have saved it
Is it wrong that I have become addicted to control burn videos?
that damn barn went up fast let alone come down fast
10:45 is cool
What a shame, I would have loved to have a barn like that on my property....
fire fighters: this is finee
Again, someone did not spend any money on demolishing the house, but spat on the world
Foolish waste! alot of good lumber going to waste!
You know you should have saved it just for the wood like barnwood is very sought after
Agricultural archeology needlessly destroyed. Terrible. Historic preservation must not be a part this town's culture.
its not the acropolis dude chill
It was still such an awesome building tho
Just worry for yourself keep it for you self
It wasn’t significant in any way. With a barn looking like that preservation would be too expensive
THIS ARCHEOLOGICAL INDENT ON HISTORY AND AGRICULTURE DESTROYED AT THE HANDS OF UNJUST, UNSCRUPULOUS, UNCULTURED SWINES REPULSE ME BEYOND COMPREHENSION!
HOW DARE THEY DISMANTLE THE VERY STRUCTURES THAT DEFINE OUR SOCIETAL UPBRINGING, TO MAKE WAY FOR MORE EFFICIENT AND ACTUALLY USEFUL MODERNITIES!
GRRR THOSE FOOLISH YOUNGSTERS THESE DAYS! ABSOLUTELY NO REGARD FOR OLD BROKEN DOWN BARNS MADE OF ROTTED WOOD THAT WERE BUILT MORE THAN 100 YEARS AGO AND ARE NOW PRACTICALLY RUINS OF WHAT THEY ONCE WERE!
HOW COULD THEY??!??!!
Pollution, waste of wood for heating or other, just stupid. 😒
They heated the planet.......but yeah they could just save the building
What a beautiful three-story house this could have been what's that 5,000 ft²
So that's what those old time sports broadcasters were talking about........
I hear so many folks verbalizing how this could have been saved or that could have been done. I see the fire department is in on this and I know for a fact that Fire departments use structures like this to give new firemen real training.

How many generations might had lived under this roof? 🤔🙄👷♂️👷♀️
it's a barn, so hopefully none.
@@smokeykit57 lol, fair point. then who knows? hundreds maybe, if they were chickens.
All the nice beams and structure lumber. What a waste.
People, you are mad! This is too far from ecologic! Old building may be demolished and old wood may be used as fuel...
What a barn burner that was...
What was wrong with the house
That can’t have refurb on it
A real barn burner!!
Where some people don't get ? , in some states it's illegal to burn mill treated lumber
That's not been pressure treated, all rough cut lumber far too old for that ....
Those fire fighters could have put this out before it got out of hand.
What a waste of good useful wood.
Heros. ..at work. Making that overtime pay
Fun to watch them go but no training just a demo. Woods worth a lot of money exactly 10 years ago.
Why???
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
wenn ich zu fault bin... das abzubauen, und für den Winter kein Brennholz brauche ☝️😋
A waste of art, OK why not at least cut it up for fire wood so it would be of some use..
They have surely killed a lot of animals who sheltered there for winter and found death.
very sad
Here in the uk that's called arson and you will be placed in jail.
Ummm it's the fire Dept doing it...why would it be arson?
In almost every case you need a permit from the state fire Marshall to do this. Pay a fee and it’s legal
Sad especially because good old seasoned wood (of course only worm-free) is expensive these days.
Many people (like me for example) renovate houses with it. Or building additions. I find it a waste if
most of the wood was still good. But hey, just my opinion.
Look at all that pollution .. crazy stupid
Barn baby barn!
Those firefighters have the cleanest turnout gear I've ever seen. You can tell that gear has never seen the inside of an active structure fire.
Or.. hear me out... they get it cleaned to prevent CANCER
it would have been nice to look inside before it burned down
The fire is dangerous so be careful
the snow contains the fire
DOOFUSSES,
Reclained wood like this is worth a lot. Amd likely more strurdy/long lasting for interior trim.
All my long leaf pine casings and sills were harvested off an old roof in Austin, Texas.
Folks who'd come by my guitar-making shop sometimes would ask where I got such nice wood.
Who cares how much worth it is, these people probably didn't have time to sort through that plus probably aren't in a financial pinch either 😂
sehr cool 👍ng
😔
What a shame that wood could have been recycled sniff sniff also smell the pollution so wrong in so many ways!
Wholesale slaughter of spiders
Too bad they did not advertise the wood. That is a greatt asset to them.
Anyone got hotdogs? And a long stick?
Ignore people talking about saving the wood. Burn it all
The entire area around the barn, and those firefighters have to stand right in front of the camera. smh. And one of them even looked at the camera a couple of times and STILL blocked the shot.
This isn’t a “shot” made specifically for you to use Woody.
This is someone’s actual building that they owned being demolished.
It’s not gonna be movie quality as it is literal raw footage.
Your complaints aren’t valid here, as nobody is at “fault” for anything. It’s their video and their barn bro.
12:36 Smokeater.
Large house burned(ﾟДﾟ;)
Why did the fire department even turn up. Are they thick or something else wtong with them. As iff the surrounding snow will catch fire lol.
Dammm shame what a waist, why burn it????
12:38 That's nice, look kids it's alright to smoke, the Firemen and Fire-women do it , so it must be okay?
Never understood why vollies leave their PAT tags hanging from their helmets. Practice like you play.
They aren't playing tho...they literally are just putting it on the ground, no training being done....not a line stretched, hell other than warmth, there's no need for any PPE....that's like saying they aren't wearing SCBA..surely you don't wear SCBA to direct traffic so you? It's a non issue.
@@nicke1903 you must be kidding, right?
А почему бы не разобрать ......Богатые ??
Dismantle recycle
Jazlin
No reason whatsoever to bring out hoses.
boohoo poor barn wood lumber this lumber that..screw that FIRE FIRE FIRE burn it
you could made a lot money sell the wood
Campfire 😀
Big sauna. 😉
I makes me feel sad that all my efforts to reduce my carbon footprint have just been totally wiped out by this blatant and stupid act of wastefulness, what the hell is wrong with these stupid people haven't they heard of "Recycle, reuse"
Why do you need firefighters to burn down a barn surrounded by miles of snow! It can't get any safer than that!
I'm going to be the bad guy now. All those bad emissions you're putting in the air You're suffocating me I can't breathe no more and I live 700 mi away
Any one bring brats?
Great video. Not everything in our world needs to be saved. Get real people.
Why? I have restored simular one thats just stupid burn that beautiful barn
Wow, wasted a lot of good money, people salvage this stuff would have paid you a good penny and had it gone in a day or two.
