Fire location:: Radio Road in Conewago Township, Adams County, Hanover Pennsylvania

Fire went to five alarms and firefighters were on-scene for several days with flare ups as demolition crews worked to clear the scene

Originally dispatched for an automatic fire alarm, the Conewago Township Police Dept arrived on the scene of the Miller Chemical Company on Radio Road and advised nothing showing, then quickly upgraded to smoke showing. A structure fire assignment was dispatched, which was quickly upgraded to a working fire assignment. It didn’t take long for this fire to go to multiple alarms … the last we heard it was possibly up to a five alarm fire.

Departments as far away as York PA sent ladder trucks (1-1 and 89-1). Adams County Haz Mat was on scene as well as a haz-mat task force (Cumberland County). Multiple explosions rocked the B/C corner making it seem like 4th of July came early. Major chemical run-off mixed with the water from fire hoses. Area residents were told to evacuate or shelter in their homes due to the toxic smoke possibilities.

At one point six ladder companies were flowing large amounts of water. Departments from Adams, York, Cumberland were seen operating in various capacities. The Red Cross was on hand for refreshments. Pennsylvania State Police was on hand for crowd and media control. PSP Fire Marshals were on scene throughout the night also. A decon team was established for cleaning the fire fighter gear. An EMS tent was established for FF welfare checks.

The cause has not been determined.

Adams County Pennsylvania Box 1-8-30 was struck Tuesday evening 3/24/15 at 19:26 hours for a reported house fire on Flickinger Road in Straban Township just off the Lincoln Highway (U.S. Route 30). The Adams County 911 Communications Center advised Gettysburg Fire Chief Hurshel Shank (Chief 1) they were receiving multiple calls for a well involved garage fire.

First due company, the Gettysburg Volunteer Fire Department arrived confirming the dispatch of a fully-involved garage fire attached to a two-story, single-family dwelling. A working dispatch was requested, bringing additional resources for R.I.T., plus tankers and an additional truck company.

A Blitzfire® nozzle was deployed to the garage while the crew from Engine 1-2 advanced a hand line to the alpha side of the house, forced entry, and made a search for occupants as well as beginning fire attack for the fire that was now extending into the living area. Heavy fire was found in the basement as well as the top floor of the house.

Several hand lines were deployed throughout all sides of the burning structure. The search proved negative for residents, however two family cats were found deceased. The fire was brought under control in about one hour with no injuries to firefighters. Extensive overhaul was needed.

Chief 1 along with the Pennsylvania State Police Fire Marshal returned the following morning to investigate the origin and cause. The fire, which originated in the garage, was ruled accidental. All garage contents were destroyed including a car.

On the morning of February 21^st 2015, the York County 911 Center dispatched York County Box 49-02 for a garage fire at 108 Arwco Drive in Penn Township, Hanover Pa. Temperatures were hovering around zero with the real feel about minus 15 degrees.

Career and volunteer firefighters from the Hanover Fire Department (HFD) and Penn Township Department of Fire-Rescue (PTFD) responded from their stations. Ambulance 52 from a neighboring EMS company was on the air and advised a heavy column of black smoke visible. Penn Township Chief 49 immediately requested a working fire assignment that includes a callback of all off duty career firefighters from the two departments plus Rapid Intervention Teams from the Pleasant Hill VFD and United Hook and Ladder FD.

The first-in engine was Hanover Engine 46-1 from the Wirt Park Station who had heavy fire showing from the attached garage of a two-story, single-family dwelling. They caught a hydrant a block away and laid 300 feet of supply line.

Companies immediately used a Blitzfire® and a 2” Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS) hand line attacking the fully involved fire from the driveway on side A. The next crew pulled a 1.75” hand line and took it to second floor finding minimal fire there and in the attic.

Once the bulk of fire was knocked in the garage, crews began opening up the overhang of the front porch finding the fire had run along the overhang and got into the walls of the A-B corner of the house, with fire presenting itself on the second floor inside a window.

Firefighters using the CAFS continued to extinguish the remaining fire found in the garage as crews opened up the walls. Firefighters were covered in frozen foam as it flew around freely in the windy conditions on this frigid day.

The origin and cause appeared to be an unattended Kerosene heater placed too close to combustibles. The loss was estimated at $100,000.00.

Friday (1/2/15) night at 21:33 hours, Adams County Pennsylvania Box 33-14 was struck for the house fire with possible entrapment at 950 Green Springs Road, Hanover, Pa. United Hook and Ladder Company 33 Ambulance 33-A, returning form a previous medical call, arrived on scene first advising of a fully-involved house fire. United Hook and Ladder Chief 33 requested the working fire assignment, and advised to have Brush and Tanker 33 from station 2 respond first due to the long narrow road leading to this address (approx 2,000 feet, ten feet wide max). Brush 33 arrived, and deployed a “trash line” to the working fire which was actually a mobile home with an addition and basement added.

Water supply was difficult with only Tanker 33 and Tanker 9 from the York Springs Fire Company able to get up the long narrow roadway. The entrapment proved negative.

The home was a major loss due to the fire, and a majority of the addition suffered severe smoke damage.

The Pennsylvania State Police Fire Marshal was notified and requested to the scene. One occupant of the home was transported via ambulance to the hospital for smoke inhalation.

The box was placed in service at 00:05 hours.
