CUISINE CAN HELP RAISE MONEY TO PREVENT HOMELESSNESS. THIS IS COVERAGE YOU CAN COUNT ON. WGAL NEWS EIGHT AT SIX STARTS. NOW. ONE PERSON IS DEAD WHILE A FAMILY ESCAPED A BURNING BUILDING IN DOWNTOWN GETTYSBURG THIS MORNING. TONIGHT, THERE’S CONCERN THE BUILDING COULD COLLAPSE. WELCOME TO NEWS EIGHT AT SIX. I’M JERE GISH AND I’M LORI BURKHOLDER. NEWS EIGHT’S BARBARA BARR JOINS US LIVE NOW IN GETTYSBURG WITH MORE BARB. LORI, THE BOROUGH ENGINEER, HAS DECLARED THE APARTMENT BUILDING HERE ON WEST MIDDLE STREET TO BE UNSTABLE, AND IT COULD COLLAPSE. SO THAT’S WHY THEY’VE ACTUALLY BLOCKED OFF THIS STREET BETWEEN BALTIMORE AND WASHINGTON, RIGHT NEAR THE COURTHOUSE. IT ALL STEMMED FROM AN EARLY MORNING FIRE THAT KILLED ONE PERSON AND FORCED MORE THAN A HALF DOZEN OTHERS OUT OF THEIR HOMES. SMOKE AND FLAMES ENGULFED THE APARTMENT BUILDING ON WEST MIDDLE STREET IN DOWNTOWN GETTYSBURG. AT 245 IN THE MORNING, FIREFIGHTERS HAD THEIR HANDS FULL RIGHT FROM THE START. THERE WAS A COLLAPSE EARLY ON GETTYSBURG FIRE CHIEF SAYS THE FIRE STARTED ON THE THIRD FLOOR. A TENANT LIVING IN THAT APARTMENT DIDN’T MAKE IT OUT ALIVE. SEVERAL OTHER TENANTS ESCAPED AS THE FIRE QUICKLY SPREAD. AND IN THE BACK THERE WAS A TWO STORY ADDITION THAT WAS PUT ON THE BACK AT SOME TIME, AND THE FIRE PROGRESSED OUT OF THAT AND INTO THAT TWO STORY AREA. THE REALTY COMPANY, WHICH HANDLES RENTALS, SAYS THERE WERE WORKING SMOKE DETECTORS, BUT THE BUILDING PRESENTED A NUMBER OF CHALLENGES. IT’S AN OLD BUILDING, VERY NARROW STAIRWELLS GETTING UP THIRD FLOOR AND THEN THE FACT THAT THINGS WERE ADDED ON AND BUILT ON THROUGH THE YEARS, UH, AND MULTIPLE APARTMENTS, YOU’LL GET WALLS WHERE YOU DON’T EXPECT THEM. A STATE POLICE FIRE MARSHAL IS INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE. WHILE A BOROUGH ENGINEER DETERMINED THE BUILDING IS STRUCTURALLY UNSOUND. WE CURRENTLY HAVE A CONTRACTOR COMING IN WHO NEEDS TO DO SOME BRACE WORK ON THE BUILDING, SO THAT IT DOESN’T COLLAPSE INTO THE STREET. AND ONCE THAT HAPPENS, THEY WILL REOPEN THIS SECTION OF WEST MIDDLE STREET. NOW, THE CORONER TELLS ME THEY’LL DO AN AUTOPSY ON THE VICTIM AND THEN LATER PROVIDE IDENTIFICATION. BUT DNA MAY BE NEEDED TO GET THAT. THE RED CROSS IS HELPING THOSE WHO WERE FORCED OUT OF THEIR HOMES. LIVE IN GETTYSBURG, BARBARA BARR NEWS EIGHT. BARBARA. THANK YOU.

LAURIE, THAT FIREFIGHTER RESPONDED TO THREE MAJOR FIRES THIS MORNING, AND THAT INCLUDES TWO FATAL FIRES. ONE IN GETTYSBURG THAT YOU JUST HEARD ABOUT, ONE IN THOMASVILLE. AND ALSO A BIG BUILDING FIRE RIGHT BEHIND ME HERE IN PENN TOWNSHIP. FLAMES WERE SHOOTING OUT OF THE WINDOWS OF THE TWO AND A HALF STORY DUPLEX. WHEN FIREFIGHTERS SHOWED UP. IT WAS AROUND 9:16 A.M. WHEN THE FIRE WAS FIRST REPORTED. WITNESSES SAID IT WAS SCARY FOR THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED IN APARTMENTS ON ONE SIDE OF THE DUPLEX, PRETTY MUCH PANICKING AND RUNNING OUT OF THE HOUSE AND. IT WAS PRETTY SCARY TO SEE THAT. FIREFIGHTERS FOUGHT THE BLAZE FROM LADDER TRUCKS AND ON THE GROUND AMONG THOSE CALLED OUT, VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER HARRISON JONES. AFTER BATTLING TWO OTHER MAJOR FIRES EARLIER THIS WAS HIS THIRD FIRE TUESDAY MORNING. THE MAIN REASON WE DO THIS IS FOR THE COMMUNITY AND WE DO. I PERSONALLY FIND GREAT JOY IN BEING ABLE TO HELP IN SOME WAY. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE IS IMPROPER DISPOSAL OF SMOKING MATERIALS. THE FIRE CHIEF SAYS THERE WERE NO WORKING SMOKE DETECTORS. I WAS THE FIRST ONE HERE FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND THERE WAS NO SMOKE DETECTORS GOING OFF.

A COMMUNITY IN FULTON COUNTY IS IN SHOCK TONIGHT AFTER THE REMAINS OF A DECEASED INFANT WERE FOUND ALONG A BUSY ROAD IN A SMALL BOROUGH. LOTS OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS. LET’S GO TO TOM LEHMAN. HE IS HAS MORE FROM MECHANICSBURG. THE FULTON COUNTY CORONER SAYS IT’S THE MOST BIZARRE CASE HE’S EVER BEEN INVOLVED IN. NEIGHBORS INITIALLY THOUGHT THEY SAW A DOLL IN THE STREET HERE ON SECOND STREET NEAR THE INTERSECTION WITH LINCOLN WAY. BUT THEY REALIZED THE REMAINS WERE THAT OF A REAL BABY, AND ONE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN RECENTLY DELIVERED. ALONG A BUSY ROAD THAT CUTS THROUGH THE SMALL TOWN OF MCCONNELLSBURG, NEIGHBORS MADE A TERRIBLE DISCOVERY. THE COMMUNITY IS DEFINITELY VERY SHOOK UP. SALLY SOUDERS WAS WAS LEFT STUNNED TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEONE WOULD LEAVE THE BABY’S REMAINS ALONG THIS STREET. IT’S UNIMAGINABLE TO THINK THAT ANYBODY WOULD WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THE FULTON COUNTY CORONER SAYS IT’S BELIEVED THE BABY HAD DEVELOPED INTO THE NINTH MONTH OF PREGNANCY, BUT HE ALSO TOLD ME THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THE CHILD WAS STILL ALIVE WHEN ITS BODY WAS LEFT ALONG SECOND STREET NEAR LINCOLN WAY. THAT WAS DISGUSTING AND SICK. I WOULD NEVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THE CORONER HAS NOT YET RELEASED WHETHER THE BABY WAS A BOY OR A GIRL. AN AUTOPSY WAS CONDUCTED MONDAY, THOUGH MORE TESTS THAN USUAL WERE REQUESTED AS INVESTIGATORS TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE BABY’S REMAINS WERE LEFT IN THE STREET. I JUST HAPPENED TO FIND THE PERSON AND I HAVE THE PERSON THAT DID IT. I HOPE THEY REALIZE IT’S A SHAME WHAT THEY DID TO THAT BABY. STATE POLICE SAY THEY DO NOT HAVE A PERSON OF INTEREST IN THIS CASE.
