Video from  of a fire yesterday afternoon in New Holland Borough, PA (Lancaster County). Here are some details from makinthehit.com, where you will also find pictures:

Chief 39 (Martin) took the New Holland Sales Stables command and order the apartment building on East Franklin Street be evacuated as the fire raged out of controll pushing thick smoke through the building and hot embers on the roof. Command 39 than ordered a 2nd alarm be transmitted as the first alarm units from the area started to go to work on the 100 x 50 building. During operations, multiple sections of the older building collapsed from the intense heat and from the pressure of the master streams in service.

WHP-TV:

Flames broke out around 12:30 this afternoon at New Holland Sales Stables in the 100 block of West Fulton Street in New Holland.

Lancaster County dispatchers say there are no animals inside the barn, just hay.

WPMT-TV:

Neighbors say when they noticed the fire, they also saw several people running from the barn.

New Holland Police are investigating the fire as suspicious. They have questioned a person of interest and expect charges to be filed pending further investigation.

    Great use of the excavator at the end of the first video. The operator saved hours of work by removing the metal roof.

    I have to ask about the name of one of the departments, “Blue Ball East Earl Township” WTF?

    Intercourse, Blue Ball, Bird-In-Hand are all in the same vicinity.

    This fire has been ruled very suspicious.
