   Fire broke out just before 6 p.m. yesterday, leveling a barn on the Shuback Farm, owned by Warwick Town Council member Marion "Mickey" Shuback.
   Bright red flames from the wooden structure off Mount Eve Road in Florida could be seen licking the skyline as far away as Chester. The smoke drifted even farther.
   The wife of a farm employee said the barn was used primarily as a workshop and housed farm equipment.
   Emergency personnel were still on scene several hours after the fire started. There were no reported injuries. No other information was available last night.
   Several departments responded to the scene or were on stand-by, including: Pine Island, Goshen, Warwick, Greenwood Lake, Mechanicstown, Campbell Hall, Slate Hill and Unionville.
   Shuback, a local sod farmer, was elected to Warwick's Town Board in November 2001. He was not available for comment last night.
