It was the worst-case scenario, the situation Hanover-area firefighters have feared for 18 months - the black of night, and a call for a working structure fire along a secluded country road.
Firefighters from York and Adams counties grabbed their gear and responded to the scene in rural West Manheim Township. Firefighters arrived on the scene, steeled themselves and were ready to wade in, Penn Township Chief Jan Cromer said, when they called on York County's emergency radio system to patch together the frequencies for the two counties' departments.
Then suddenly, in the midst of the night's action and adrenaline - a shattering nothing.
