BARN RAISING After AMISH Farm FIRE -NEW BARNS in 6 DAYS- Lancaster County's Amish Community
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ธ.ค. 2023
- Thanksgiving 2023 will not be easily forgotten for one Amish family and their neighbors. A fire broke out mid morning in the barn. It wasn't long before the barn was fully involved. The livestock was driven out as the fire spread. In less than an hour the barn and 2 attached wings were engulfed. This video though documents the spirit of the Amish community and the entire community at large. In 6 days the rubble would be cleaned up, new footers and block walls laid, and new barns erected. This video is a testament to the community spirit in Lancaster County's Amish Land.
The Fire video can be found here:
• Tragic BARN FIRE in AM... - บันเทิง
Imagine what could happen if the whole country came together this way . This here is a lesson in human spirit , friendship , community , focus , tenacity and family values . What a wonderful display of pride .
the democrats way of governance does not support the qualities you describe.
@@wayneburnside7819 Wayne , sadly you are correct . They continue to devise ways to divide us into as many groups as they can . It's an age-old strategy . Invented by the Romans , " divide and conquer " . And.....we will continue to live in hope !
Happens every day out here in the country somewhere. Nobody screaming for government help, just stay out of the way.
@@wayneburnside7819 MOST CONSERVATIVES don't even know who their own neighbors are. STFU & GTFO
We’d have a far superior world to live in that’s safe, happy, n healthy Amen! I love ❤️ the Amish n Old Order!
They obviously don’t have to pull permits or wait for inspections. It’s amazing to see things being done the right way and free of red tape and government bureaucracy and regulations.
it's called Corruption 🤣😆😂😅
They may be in an unincorporated township. No governing body is present to require permits.
Good thing OSHA isn't around or allowed
Because this was a rebuild of an existing structure and no changes were made to the footprint, no township planning or approval was required, and most townships give the permit for free or a minimal charge. Had this been an entirely new farm, the owner would have tons of red tape and the process could take a very long time to approve.
Most agricultural buildings are exempt from building permits and except for electrical inspection but amish don't use electricity
This is why I have an unending amount of repect for the Amish. They are a wonderful people. They refrain from modern convieniences to retain this level of community and humility before God. The Amish community as a whole paid for this rebuild too. They live their faith. It was nice to see English crews working too.
Refrain from modern conveniences? You didn't notice the cranes and forklifts? How do you think they fill those silos? Do you think they milk those cows by hand? Mostly, they refrain from excess, a virtue we all could use a little of.
@farmerbill6855 they refrain from vanity they are all business
@@logpile1318 you are correct.
I really wouder what started the fire 🔥
@@kimruff7133 most likely an electrical problem. Could be spontaneous combustion in wet hay but it's pretty late in the season for that.
This is what "build back better" is supposed to mean. Humbling to see the the incredible outpouring of support the community provided for this family
This is the exact opposite of build back better. This is what happens when the government is in no way involved.
Build back better would have blue siding..this is definitely Make America Great Again-Red.
@@farmerbill6855well said my friend. Well said
The camaraderie within the Amish community is an admirable trait that's obviously missing today within the general population. Their cohesive lifestyle is to be admired.
The Amish are one people.
Admired, praised, and replicated.
Thats what happens when you raise a community on nothing but the true full bible. No media and no Vatican BS
While they are Amish and this is how they live, the fact that so many people, with so many talents, can put their own lives and responsibilities aside to help one single family recover from what would be a devastating tragedy to most of us, speaks volumes for their lifestyle. Not only the men who came out to do the construction, but their wives and families who also sacrificed and helped in untold ways while they did the work. Its hard to wrap your mind around it.
All this is Voluntary to help rebuild this barn. And they do it all the time. Barns/Houses. What ever is needed. This my friends, Is Real America. 💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
WOW, WHO, WOW. What an incredible watch this was.. It was so heartwarming on so many fronts.. The community responding, the speed of response, the industrious delivery of the rebuild along with the materials delivery, the conscientious helpers. From feeding the helpers, their horses. Regardless of politics or religion the world could learn a lot from everyone behaving like this. Well done.
No government red tape, no building permits or codes, no blueprints, just a wonderful community coming together, God Bless these people !!!
How grateful that no life was lost, even the animals were spared from this tragic fire! Wonderful to see the Amish community come together to help their own in their time of need. This is a long-time custom and is much admired by the English. We are so happy that their barn has been rebuilt in such a timely manner.😊👍
Nothing short of amazing how a community can come together with one purpose and put a neighbor back in business.
Praise God that such men and women still exist. This is the result of leaning on God to make a pathway in times of need. Thanks so very much for allowing us to view this beautiful tribute to what can be accomplished when we place our trust in Him and Him alone.🇺🇸🚒🐄🙏🏻
Yes no Media and not antichrist vatican. Just the gospel being lived
We are so happy for this farmer being born in Pennsylvania I have great respect for all my Amish neighbors. Learn to live with love in our hearts for all.
Just amazing! I was watching the "likes" increase in number as the barn was being built, but I think the barn won the day! A great testimony to the hard working men and the women who fed them. I just wish our country could work this way, I know at one time it did.
Still does out here in the country. This sort of thing happens every day.
@@farmerbill6855As a farmer I can absolutely agree. Here in rural America we all try to help each other.
Huge respect for the Amish camaraderie and work ethic.
I live a quarter mile from this barn. My wife and I drove by every day watching the progress. I told my wife they would have a new barn up in a week. Lol. I was off by one day.
That is so unbelievable. That’s how all communities should come together when a disaster like that happens. They all work together so well and the their craftsmanship is amazing.
This tragedy to triumph shows us how all humans should treat each other! My hats are off to all who helped this sweet family in need
Absolutely incredible! I find it most amazing that all this work gets completed and the remains of the former barn are still smoldering!
More people in this country need to learn these values.....not ask why or what for just do it..........this is the exact definition of STAND BY ME!
This honestly brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely beautiful.
Mine too, thank God for this way of life.
This is amazing on many levels, I am in my 60th year as a Architectural Technician, I have never seen anything like this.
First of all someone had to come up with drawings for this in the first 24 hours, you need a way to take off the materials.
Where in the world do you get roof trusses of this magnitude made in three days and assembled in one?
Where do you get metal cladding and roofing cut to length and delivered in four days?
The effort is a testament to these amazing people.
And they rested on the seventh day.
They have their own sources for some of the items like beams. Sometimes they store them on other farms just in case.
I lived in Lancaster County for 25 yrs. My husband was involved with them as a produce man. He was welcomed by several Amish families to visit their farms.
And had the chance to watch a barn raising after a fire.
We have the utmost respect for them. Amazing and kind people.
There is an amish Architect that probably had the prints ready by the next morning theres also amish owned businesses nearby such as lumber yards. timber frame manufacturing, roof truss manufacturing and metal roofing and siding manufacturing as well as many construction companies that put everything on hold to help in a situation like this. It truly is a huge blessing in this area and pray that it is never lost
Lots of Amish where I live in Wisconsin I've worked with them .around here they all have saw mills and have metal business so that
After the fire they all start cutting lumber get there dimensions and make the metal so forth all in all there are very nice and helpful even when a non Amish has a fire they come and help any way they can
You folks are amazing! These are human beings at their best. What the world could learn from you all. I'm in tears. It's called LOVE and human friendship.
Thank you for sharing.❤
Its called whole hearted belief in God, Jesus and his teaching to treat your neighbours as you want to be treated. Without Jesus they would be just another Tribe like all over the third world countries who get nothing done and dont help each other
When you're part of somthing like this, you come to realize it's an incredible bonding experience.
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly and efficiently the Amish and menonites can raise a barn. We as English, I think, have a lot to learn from them if only we were not such narrow minded people. Say what you will, but I am always amazed how these people live and survive with far less than the average English household could ever live without.
Just think about that.
Sure is amazing to watch and truly inspirational.
Never fail to be impressed by these hard working people who practice what they preach and live out their faith through their actions and dedication to fellow members of their own community. Not just a barn in 6 days ... a massive mega-barn that'd swell the chest of any farmer!! Great work!
That farm is on Strasburg Pike. Next door to Bottom Line Ag Supply. Google map show the original structures before the fire. They built it back bigger and better! God bless they didnt lose any animals. Something to be thankful for your burn burns down ON Thanksgiving. Wooeee. Gotta love the Amish spirit there in Lancaster County PA.😃👍❤️p
We saw the smoke from the fire while traveling to our relatives on Thanksgiving morning. Our route usually takes us along Strasburg Pike but it was closed to traffic. We went home on Monday, passing the barn, they were already well into framing the second floor. Truly amazing what can be accomplished with a hundred carpenters and not waiting around for building permits.
God Bless every one of them. I am verry happy there was NO loss of life or injuries. The rest of the world should follow The Amish and come together. They are so genuine and gentle. If I were there, I would GLADLY volunteer my time to help. God Bless All.
Everyone should be as caring and dedicated as these men and women. Just think what the world would be like.
All I can say God works wonders when he has a congregation to back. God is good. An Amish are truly beautiful in their own way. God tested Amish approved. May God have mercy on this hard-working community and beautiful respect each other. Amen 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
I love the amish, because they support one another, and they are very kind, that is what is missing in our world today.
They fully belief and teach the bible and Jesus Gospel. That is what is missing. Bible is all they are raised on and this is the result
All I can say is wow. Goes to show you how many hands can do so much work. How many people were there to helping out Amish and English communities Just amazing
I think it's wonderful how the non-Amish people came to help. The Amish are obliged to help each other, but the others do it all voluntarily. Big shout out to them!
Incredible workmanship done by these men What a wonderful world this could be if all of us worked like this together
These people and their caring concern for one another is truly a spiritual happening !! 🙏🏻 they all stay safe ❤
Thank you for filming this effort. I too found tears in my eyes! While I knew that this was a typical effort in the Amish community, it was very encouraging to actually see it happening.
Thank God no one was hurt.The Amish are very strong people.They work together and accomplish amazing building ❤
Reading these skeptics is so ridiculous since I’ve lived in Amish country all my life. No just Amish, but all farmers come together in crisis & help keep the farm going. I also watch a lot of generational family farmers & Farm Rescue. They’re amazing ppl.
must admire that team spirit they have!
This is what needs to happen thru out the United States n help n care for each other the political parties could learn alot too very impressed by the show of care love and community for you fellow man way to set a example
Just simply awesome. A testament to people of faith working together.
exactly what this country needs more of
This is what the World needs more of. Helping hands, friendship, community and love... If life is like this I'm in a very good dream...
I never get tired of watching their mastery, and cohesiveness,Bar None.
this is what real men and women do. No whining, just doing.
What a beautiful thing community is. If we could only all be more like this.
What an astonishing achievement! And what a community. I'm an old, cynical atheist but I was moved to tears several times during this by the sheer determination of everyone, and that includes the power company linesmen too!
I nearly forgot, at 28 minutes, is that the highest washing line in the world?!
What are the two lines of raised roof fixings on the lower slopes of the roofs?
To prevent snow from sliding down on the street.
I was trying to get my head around the washing line! I kept thinking is it perspective or is it really that high 😂
Line looks like a pulley type line, and it's coming off the back deck which looks to be off the 2nd story. Having it up that high it catches a good breeze and it's out of the way.
God Bless the Amish for their dedication and hard work.
Truly amazing and just shows what can be done by people coming together rather than apart like our nation is becoming. Just amazing the camaraderie of everyone in the community. Thank you❤
The Amish are known for their excellent craftmanship in building & everything they do. They are the only people who come together to help those in their community when it's needed & the only ones who help their own people when tragedy hits. I'm 70 yrs old & on my own & would enjoy being part of their community however I have limited income. A GREAT JOB of excellence! Accomplishing that much needed major task of rebuilding in that short time span is hard work. To everyone helping - women & men - it's nice to see people who come together knowing they each have a job/role to do to get it done correctly.
My husband and I lived in Lancaster County for a while before we moved to the West Coast. It is a community like no other. It’s so nice to see the area that we used to call home, and also to see that it is still the same.
This coming-together of the community to rally behind this farmer who suffered such a devastating loss, to restore his farm and his family's spirit fully, represents the America and Americans we so greatly love and can take such great pride in. The love and devotion shown by everyone here is nothing short of inspirational!
Wonderful to watch. No nail guns. (Oops, I take that back. I did notice a few.) Reminded me in a good way of the way ants and bees all work together in coordination, each with a role, for their community. So many hands at work the way it used to be.
Coordinating this build, planning, figuring out who many supplies were needed and getting them on site at the right time, and directing so many workers is an amazing feat. Whoever was in charge did a fantastic job.
And I noticed the huge amount of laundry hung out to dry on a line high in the air. Incredible.
Totally agree about being wonderful to watch. I too, noticed the lack of nail guns and all the other mod cons that builders use these days.
What I also noticed, specially in the drone shots, was the total lack of men standing back, doing nothing or on their cell phones...everyone was on the move and doing their bit of the rebuild, without a second thought. And for those of us who might not share their religious beliefs, you have to applaud their ethics and community spirit and that includes the wives who looked after them. Such a huge team effort and thanks for posting this video. Truly inspirational!
Amish aren't loathe to use tings like nail guns, saws for metal sheets. They just don't own them.
Where did the milk herd go and who milked them? Tremendous rebuild and I agree there is a lot of lessons for us to learn here!
I wonder if they divided them up amongst their neighbors for the time being? A few to each, or so?
Their is usually an empty barn somewhere in the neighborhood that the cows go the in a time like this ,maybe a retired farmers barn
There was indeed a time when a work ethic similar to the coming together here was not so very rare as is the case today in these once united States. Always so refreshing to see how a community coming together of it own volition may bring a new start after such a loss, and with no interference of government operatons! Thank You for this Awesome story! -Bob...
Seriously, this has to be one of the most calming videos i have sat down to watch. Man oh man, for the first time in my life watching human nature at its best. The co-ordination...everyone knowing what to do all at once, exactly at the same time. The time to eat together as one, the special care for the horses, carriages lined up neatly and the horses having a conversation and catching up on all their news.Man, this is absolute total respect for you guys and your women who supported you. Well done. Amen.
I would love to see a vid on the logistical process. It is simply amazing that all the materials were available in such a short time. Heck even the feeding of all the people has to have been amazing. Did the women of the community contribute to the feeding of all those men?
Awesome video. God bless brother.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I Sincerely hope the American public takes a long hard look at this video and can take away something good from this . This folks is the real America . Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸May God bless each and Everyone of the men and Women who helped in this building. And making of the video. We should all take a lesson from this if we really want to make America Great again. This is a way to start.
I am going in the tech field and moving outside of California. I would love to work with these people… the work ethic and family values is just difficult to ignore. God Bless these people. This is America.
God Bless the Fire and EMS that responded!
Just like an orchestra where each instrument has a part to play in making beautiful music. Each one of these men have a part to play in order to get this barn rebuilt.
What awesome job. Having lived in an Amish Community wonderful people if you treat them respectfully will be great friends. 😊
Loving one another is truly the way of life. Thank-you for setting an example for the world to see.
Simply incredible! I'm curious how the milking of the Dairy cows was being done during these few days of the build??
Being a long ago Dairy Farmer, my first real job for many yrs.. That was my next thought after praying all the animals were safe...
Praises to all involved including the Drone footage that was captured so well and steady! Being a photographer, it's nice to see something like this documented and shared in a clear way!
Prayers for all getting back to their own daily lives till the next barn raising, etc!!! Blessings All
The dairy cows were taken care of by neighbors. Thank you for the compliments on my videography and thank you so much for watching. Greatly appreciated.
@@LancoAmishthanks for your comment and confirmation.. I had not doubt they were well taken care of!! Such a caring community! You did a fine job with your drone videography skills!!!
I would think that the cows were driven down the road to another farm and milked and cared for there.
Thanks for this video that's done so well !!
I've always admired the Amish for their selflessness - The rest of us certainly need to take some lessons !!!
Thanks again for your time - Well done !!!
So great to see the community come to the aid of another! It was definitely an amazing video. Thanks for sharing it!
I'm impressed. Great accomplishment. Their community effort, and support is a great example for any town and/or city to follow.
Much like this great team of people, back in the '80s, I was part of the engineering corps in the military. Our camp, home to about 600-700 soldiers and officers, was suddenly called into action one night. We had to clean up after a severe accident: two semi trucks had collided in the countryside, not far from our camp. One was carrying fish, the other a large petrol tank. The crash had caused a fire that burned down four houses.
That first night, our task was to clean up the scattered fish from the road, working alongside the fire crew who were busy putting out the house fires. Local road assistance companies helped us move and haul away the wreckage of the semi trucks.
The following day, we switched to operating heavy machinery like excavators, bulldozers, and dump trucks. We worked in 8-hour shifts, clearing debris and preparing the site for reconstruction.
By the second night, our focus shifted to laying down infrastructure for new houses. We worked on connecting waterlines and sewage systems to four new house lots. The concrete foundations were poured on the third day.
I vividly remember working through the third night, helping to erect the walls of the new houses. In just 7-8 days, thanks to the coordinated efforts of our crew and some locals, we managed to rebuild what was lost in the accident. It was an incredible demonstration of what can be achieved in a short time with a well-organized team.
“As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” - Audrey Hepburn
True hard working man power. Working together to get the job done. Good neighbors helping each other. If everybody in this world was like these folks, it would be a better world.
Gentlemen, absolutely incredible the amazing teamwork your community demonstrates. For a retired city person, it is amazing to watch a project of this size take shape. God bless you all.
Definitely something to be said about community taking care of each other in this we could all learn a little something from them on that front
Our son worked for the brother-in-law of the owner.
They were setting up for wedding services in the loft. Gifts of appreciation for wedding waiters and assistants were lost in the fire.
Video shows six days of construction, not sure if it indicated, but cows were milked in the barn that evening. And, two weeks later the wedding or reception was held in the loft.
Absolutely an Awesome example of a wholesome community..... God Bless
Thank you to the community for all the fine work you did.
I used to live out in this area. I miss this so much. I now live in NJ where people will kick and step on you to just better themselves
So impressive its truly magnificent. Wonderful that even non Amish people helped their friend and neighbor we can all learn a valuable lesson from this. God bless them all.👍
The amish will always have my respect i love how they dont let anything stop them they just do what they gotta do.
even though i am not amish i respect them, the all come together as a community in times of need.
What a great video I have a huge amount of respect for the driven attitudes and collaborative efforts of the amish. Great job!
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I appreciate them both greatly.
Amazing work god is great for bringing that amount of love to there neighbor and family
Organized Chaos. These guys really have their act together. Nice video.
This is what America USE TO BE, neighbor helping neighbor, sad its not anymore.....Bless this community!
Reminds me of the’Barn Raising’ parties we were part of in my much younger days. As they always said,Many hands make quick work.
I am amazed that they were able to obtain ALL the building material so quickly !!! and to get it all put together. fantastic job !!!
They have their own saw mills and as the man said in the beginning the needs of this barn were put first , so any orders that were being worked on were put to use on this job
More like money talks. That's commercial lumber, you think some Amish sawmill had that much laying around? The metal roofing and siding? The milker company and electricians started as soon as the loft floor was completed. The silo repairs weren't shown but the silo company did that on Sunday and Monday. Rental company had equipment there the day after Thanksgiving and thru the weekend. As did the concrete company. Yep, money talks.
@@farmerbill6855The Amish don't have 'A' sawmill they have SEVERAL. They are allowed machinery as long as it is BUSINESS use sanctioned by bishops. Those rental companies likely are Amish run in that neck of the woods. You'd be surprised
@@Og-Judy they don't surprise me, I've seen them buy farm land with cash. Two old school milk cans full of cash. That's commercial, graded lumber. You think they have a block company? That's one of their concrete trucks?
We have Amish in our area that have their own equipment and business that are capable of doing this. Also the largest agricultural building construction company has a large Amish workforce. @@farmerbill6855
At least all human & animal life was spared/safe and sound from the tragic barn establishment of the fire. God bless all who participated in the rebuilding process of the barn and the adjacent wings of the barn for these wonderful people in this world!!
The Amish are incredible people I wish everyone could treat each other as Amish treat one another this country really could be an amazing place if we could! It's kinda funny how the English stand out like a soar thumb in amongst all the Amish workers
The Amish people are the ones that show us how a community comes together.
I had a Amish teacher in grade 9 shop class masonry in a publicly run school he drove so he was not a true Amish found out that that a Amish crew thaat is building a barn or a house will use tractors or skid steers if you lend them to them to use ..
Amazing video.
Amish owned machinery, including skid-steers, telehandlers, forklifts, round bailers, tractors, and more are quite common in the area this was filmed. Not all Amish follow the same rules, and some are far more conservative, but are a minority here in Lancaster County, the largest Amish community.
Thank you so much for posting this
Congratulations, may God continue to bless. All the Amish family is so good to see. All the men getting together and rebuilding and all the women have a panda food to feed. So many great job. God continued to bless in the name of Jesus.❤❤❤
That was amazing. Thank you for sharing.
I thank you so much for sharing this video... it was amazing...
thank you for sharing
The craftsmanship is just so perfect and orchestrated.
Thank you Drone! ❤
Genuinely incredible- what an inspiration for us all 🙏
Absolutely amazing
Amazing. Credit to whomever figured out what supplies needed to be ordered!
Beautiful! The community came through!❤️🇺🇸🐎🐗🌹
