A fire in a row home at 14 North Plum Street Lancaster City claimed one life and injured the rest of the family. It occurred at around 5:30 AM on Monday December 6th, 2010. Fire was racing out the 2nd and third floor windows when firefighters arrived. 2 occupants had already jumped to safety and there were unconfirmed reports that others may not have gotten out. This quickly became a general alarm fire and units from Lancaster Township, Lafayette and Millersville Fire companies assisted at the scene. Firefighters were hampered from doing an aggressive search and fire attack because much of the interior floor had burned away, making exterior operations necessary.
