Vault Visit | Giant barn fire at North Carolina A&T

A six-week-old calf died in the fire.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — This year. WFMY News 2 turns 75! So to celebrate... We're opening the WFMY News 2 vault.

On March 3, 1990... Crews battled a massive fire at a barn on the North Carolina A&T farm. 

The barn was used to house young calves before they ventured out into fields on their own. 

A six-week-old calf died in the fire. 

At the time, A&T officials said they didn't know if re-building the barn would be covered by insurance... 

The beef cattle unit is one of seven areas of study for A&T's College of Agriculture and Science students. 

The university's 492-acre working farm raises crops and livestock and is used for both research and education.
