A fire that is being described as one of the biggest in York County history is under investigation.
The fire at the old furniture factory on Mill Street in Stewartstown went to six alarms on Saturday. Monday morning, smoke was still rising from the ruined building.The first call for the fire came in around 2 a.m. Saturday. Viewer video showed just how big the fire was, as a wall of flames tore through the roof and walls. Crews had to pull water from at least one area pond to get enough water to douse the blaze. It took about three hours to put it out.
Eureka Volunteer Fire Chief Todd Gibney said on the department’s Facebook page that he expected the fire to continue to smoke and smolder for the next week, saying, “It’s not a realistic expectation to fully extinguish a fire of this magnitude.” The post went on to say that the fire is contained in areas that are bricked up and it cannot spread.The scale of the fire stunned residents, who said they’ve never seen anything like it.
