VIDEOS/PHOTOS: A three-alarm fire ripped through a large lumber manufacturer in Lebanon County.
Crews responded to Weaber Lumber in the 1200 block of Mount Wilson Road in South Annville Township around 10 p.m. on Monday. Flames could be seen leaping from the burning building.
A time-lapse video from the WGAL Skycam in Lebanon shows smoke billowing from the sawmill from miles away. The blaze was upgraded to the third alarm, prompting a large firefighter response.
According to Lawn Fire Company Chief Dillon Wilson, approximately 1.1 million gallons of water have been used from the on-site hydrant system to combat the fire. Tankers also brought in additional water to the scene.
Chief Wilson said most of the building was engulfed in flames when crews arrived. “It got ahead of us,” Wilson said. The chief believes this building might have the most combustible materials under one roof in the state.
