DEALING WITH THE FARM FIRE
by M.E.C. White

Abstract
A fire in a livestock unit is the ultimate animal welfare problem and represents one of the most distressing events that stockmen and the veterinary surgeon are required to deal with. And yet, there is little guidance available to either undergraduates or qualified veterinary surgeons on how to deal with a problem that usually arises as an out of hours emergency when little back up advice may be available.
???? This paper is intended as a practical guide to dealing with a fire in a pig farm, particularly from the perspective of the attending veterinary surgeon, who may well only arrive after the fire has been brought under control and is thus required to deal with the immediate aftermath.
