An 18-year-old man was killed Monday when he fell during a barn raising in Little Britain Township.

Isaac S. Fisher, of Peach Bottom, apparently fell while trying to put a roof beam into place, according to emergency personnel.

Robert Fulton Fire Company Assistant Chief Clair Nolt said as many as 30 people were working on the barn about 4 p.m. when the incident occurred.

The incident happened less than a week after dozens of volunteer firefighters from three counties fought a fire that ripped through the farm's original barn last Wednesday.

The fire, sparked by an overheated exhaust fan, caused an estimated $200,000 damage.

The barn was on a farm owned by Aaron and Anna Stoltzfus of Clendenin Road.
