Harrisburg Fire Chief Brian Enterline said approximately half the building was destroyed; the other half sustained significant damage. On the half of the building that was destroyed, the roof was gone and only the walls remained standing. “It is devastating,” Enterline said. “This is a building that has served the community for a long time.”
He credited dispatchers with quickly assessing the situaton and immediately issuing a first alarm, speeding the response of fire crews fromEnterline said the danger of collapse prevented firefighters from fighting the blaze inside the building, but he said they were able to quickly lay large lines inside the building which helped prevent the fire from spreading further.When the fire was under control, a drone was used to locate hot spots and direct firefighting efforts to those locations.
