The chickens perished in the blaze.
Owner Damian Wagg noticed the fire and reported it.

The house was not damaged, but everything in the garage was a total loss, he said.
The garage was not insured.
Firefighters cleared the scene about 1 a.m. Monday.
Fire departments assisting New Vineyard were Farmington, Industry, New Portland, North Anson, Strong and Temple.
