3-Alarm Fire Burns Multiple Homes San Jose, Lancaster Barn Fire

Firefighters responded to two significant fires in different locations. In Lancaster County, crews battled a two-alarm barn fire on Old Philadelphia Pike early in the morning, encountering a fully engulfed barn with massive smoke plumes; the cause and any injuries remain unknown. Meanwhile, in San Jose, a three-alarm fire broke out at a single-story home on Gavota Avenue and spread to an adjacent house, prompting evacuation of all occupants with no reported injuries to residents. Firefighters managed to knock down the primary fire after more than an hour, although a firefighter was treated for heat exhaustion and a dog was rescued from the blaze. Authorities have urged the public to avoid the San Jose area during the response. Both incidents highlight ongoing firefighting efforts to contain and mitigate residential and farm-related fires.
