Excerpts from an article at the York Daily Record website:
Two fires in York have crews squeezed for manpower and clouds of smoke visible for miles.
Firefighters from several departments are working on some of the homes in a line of about 15 row homes in the 700 block of Chestnut Street.
Residents are being evacuated from the whole block – 701 to 731 Chestnut Street. The air is thick with smoke.
Flames have been visible from units in the middle of the block and at the end where 731 Chestnut sits, and firefighters are using ladder trucks to dump water from above.
The fire was reported at about 2:55 p.m.
Crews already had been working on a large trash fire a few blocks away at Consolidated Scrap Resources. That fire was reported just before 2 p.m. on East Princess Street, near Alladin and Girard avenues, according to York County 911.
