Firefighters Battle 3-Alarm Warehouse Fire In Harrisburg

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Firefighters are battling a three-alarm warehouse blaze in Harrisburg.

The fire broke out around 5 p.m. Monday. Several fire companies were called to the scene.

The fire chief in Harrisburg said the warehouse building has partially collapsed. He believes the fire to be suspicious and says it appears that several explosions stemmed from a gas line eruption.
