Embers from the blaze landed as far as two and a half miles away, according to the Eureka Volunteer Fire Company chief.

at an abandoned factory in Stewartstown, York County, caused only minimal damage to other buildings and could’ve been much worse, according to the fire chief who oversaw the response.

The factory was a known fire risk, so much so that local responders had developed a 13-page “pre-plan” document detailing how to position equipment and other strategies to deal with the building if it became fully engulfed, according to Gibney. Further, according to Gibney, the borough had an 8-inch water line installed in a large pond in a nearby housing development, running to a point near the Stewartstown VFW building. The purpose of the line was to feed hoses in the event of a large fire instead of drawing on the borough’s limited public water system.
