- Warehouse Fire @ Former Lear Building (Boro of Carlisle).
Engine 234 responded on 2nd Alarm.
Box 45-01 sent
Carlisle Borough and surrounding companies to
the rear of 8 B Street for a building fire.
Engine 2-41 (Union of Carlisle) arrived with
heavy fire from the roof of a long, city block
long, building complex. A second alarm was
quickly requested, shortly followed by a special
call for additional truck and RIT companies.
The fire involved the former Masland/Lear
Complex which is a vast industrial complex
composed of a variety of vacant buildings that
ranged in height from 1 to 3 stories. At the
time of the fire the building was under going
some renovations after recently being bought by
Carlisle Events. The fire quickly traveled from
the northwest portion of the complex and quickly
spread south raging with explosions and
ultimately resulting in collapse. Command
45 requested a third alarm to stage at Company
45's headquarters. Numerous supply lines were
laid throughout the streets surrounding the
complex and elevated master streams from 5 truck
companies played water on the blaze for over 9
hours before the flames were extinguished enough
for mop up. Several other ground monitor and big
lines were put in place to protect a number of
occupied dwellings situated only feet from the
involved structures and took on a tremendous
radiant heat. Firefighters were successful
in keeping the flames from igniting the
dwellings. A fourth alarm was requested for
relief as companies continued to pour water on
the structure as most of it had collapsed and no
longer posed a threat to the other unburned
buildings. In all over 150 firefighters from 5
counties converged on the scene or provided
empty station coverage. Two buildings were
destroyed and damage estimates are in excess of
$1 million. No injuries were reported.
