Massive York County fire continues to burn 

VIDEOS/PHOTOS: Smoke billowing turned to an orange glow as night fell on Jackson Township, York County as a fire continued to burn Sunday night.

Firefighters from several counties and Maryland responded to Old Hanover Road south of Spring Grove just before 3 p.m. for a blaze that overtook a large mulch pile.

“That big mound, it looks like a volcano just erupted,” a witness told abc27 News at the scene.

“A lot of smoke, and some flames,” Abbigail Kreitz described the scene. “It’s been going on for quite awhile now.”

Structures were involved along with excavation equipment according to the Irishtown Fire Co., though the specific nature of the buildings is not yet known.

The fire continued to burn into the night as firefighters remained on scene.

The Shrinestown Community Fire Company said its 3,700-gallon tanker hauled 29,600 gallons of water on Sunday night and will remain on the scene until the fire is completely extinguished.
